Imagine, you just rolled your Volvo at Brands Hatch, and a race marshal is there to great you with a beer.

Too bad we can't watch the whole damn race!

Ahhh those were the days. Roll the car, get out, have a cuppa.

This is so fantastic! They weren't hanging about either? Especially the Jaguar early on in the race footage of the film. Such fascinating cars. Brilliant film!
