I watched Grand Prix this morning thanks to Reg's suggestion. Good movie with lots of old F1 action... but wow is it long... almost 3hrs.
Now I gotta find Hot Rod that 2strokd posted somewhere. Looks cool from the preview.

An interesting fact about F1 cars in the Eighties is that with the sealing side skirts and ground effects the cars were so G-capable that drivers could only drive them at their limits for about three laps before becoming totally exhausted. This was reported by F1 driver, Niki Lauda. Also skirt failure could result in catastrophic high speed crashes. The skirts were soon outlawed by the FIA.
