Anatomie d'un Depart: Well worth 11 minutes of your life

In 1985, Elf made this stellar little documentary showing the lead-up to the start of an F1 race.  All the wonderful master drivers of the turbo era are there, from Keke Rosberg to Niki Lauda to Nigel Mansell, and of course the young Senna who we watch as he applies a sticker to his own helmet visor with fastidious precision. The music is awesomely period. Well worth the 11 minute running time.

Chapeau, Amaury!

Chuck Norris. Trans Am. 'Nuff Said.

A cleanshaven Chuck Norris and a red Firebird Trans Am from the movie "Eye for an Eye," 1981. I don't know how much GM paid, but every shot looks like a commercial, even though the car was about 10 years old at the time.

Automotive Foreplay, starring Michael Caine and his Montreal

That's the only way to describe this playful chase between a dashing Michael Caine in his Alfa Montreal and his strikingly beautiful ladyfriend in her Yellow Porsche. The early 70s was an awesome time for motoring, no?

An excerpt from the film "The Marseille Contract"- 1974.
