Great Read: Grand Prix — the game-changing film |
October 2022 | Aubrey Day |
After a series of false dawns in documenting Formula 1 in the cinema, a new film promised to change the game. Sound familiar? In 1966 Grand Prix did just that, even if the sport itself was among the doubters.
In a parallel universe, the iconic Steve McQueen racing film could have been Grand Prix rather than Le Mans. The mercurial actor was at one point attached to John Frankenheimer's epic, if soapy, spectacular before departing the project for reasons that have never quite been made clear. |

Watch cult movie Grand Prix with David Brabham & Alex Brundle |

Motor Sport has joined with Footman James, Scalextric and Classic & Sports Finance for our inaugural Cinema Club evening, giving readers the chance to watch a special screening of Grand Prix, the original F1 film.
But that's not all! The evening also includes an exclusive Q&A session with VIP guest David Brabham, whose father Jack appeared in the film back in 1966. The event is hosted by racer and commentator Alex Brundle.
From the thunder of V12 engines to the incredible shots of Monaco's harbour-front, and the real racing drivers behind the wheel, Grand Prix remains a visceral, high-octane tribute to a golden era of racing - a time when bravery was abundant and safety margins were vanishingly thin.
Now, almost 60 years on, we're bringing it back to the big screen in London in one special night for fans of motor sport and movie magic alike. |
