From All-American hero Mario Andretti, the only driver to win the Indy 500, the Daytona 500 and the World Championship, to James Hunt, the maverick Englishman who concealed his nerves behind a devil-may-care playboy manner. This series closely follows the drivers on and off the track as they battle for motorsport’s ultimate prize, giving a new, behind-the-scenes insight into the world of Formula 1 and exactly what it is that drives the very special breed of men who live their professional lives on the very extreme edge of sporting achievement. The material for grand prix heroes was selected from the Brunswick Films archive library which was shot on 16 and 35 mm. John Tully who filmed these amazing years of formula one in the 70s captured the events with equally well known cinematographers such as: Arthur Wooster, Harvey Harrison, Mike Brewter, Eric van Haren Noman, and Rene Guissart, among others. Not surprisingly the filming of the formula one events of this era is unsurpassed. A tribute to the heroes as well as the team that filmed them.

Épisode 2 - Sir Jackie Stewart
A triple World Champion with 27 wins to his credit, Sir Jackie Stewart ranks as one of the top five most successful racing drivers.

The ‘Flying Scot’ also initiated the campaign to introduce safety measures that eventually enabled improvements, ushering in a new era of Grand Prix racing. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
Épisode 3 - Niki Lauda
Niki Lauda is forever assured a special place in Grand Prix history, as the World Champion who came back from the brink of death. It was hailed as the most courageous comeback in sporting history.

Exclusive interviews with Lauda give a deep insight to an extraordinary and inspiring man. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
Épisode 4 - Mario Andretti
With film star looks, Mario Andretti came to rank as one of the most versatile racing drivers of all time. His career spanned five decades. Making his Grand Prix debut in 1968 he spent the next 14 years jetting across the Atlantic to compete in Formula One. Fiercely competitive the film covers his career in Formula One from 1970 with in depth interviews with one of the most successful all round American drivers in motorsport history. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
Épisode 5 - Jody Scheckter
Blindingly quick, and utterly fearless, Jody Scheckter soon earned a reputation as the controversial “wild man’ of Formula One. Having made his Formula One debut with McLaren in 1972 his image was tarnished even further when he caused the most spectacular multiple pile up ever seen, before going on to win the World Championship with Ferrari in 1979. A controversial figure, the film includes fascinating interviews with Scheckter and is narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
Épisode 6 - Emerson Fittipaldi
From 1972 Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi held the record for the youngest ever Formula one World Champion, before being eclipsed in 2005, first by Fernando Alonso then Lewis Hamilton. Racing with his brother Wilson, they became the first brothers to compete in Formula One. Absorbing interviews with Fittipaldi, winning two World Championships establishing a reputation of one of the most stylish drivers of his generation. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
Épisode 7 - Peter Revson
One of only a handful of American drivers to make a mark in Formula One. Peter Revson stood out as a cool, stylish figure. Fiercely independent, he was totally committed to the quest for Grand Prix glory. With in depth interviews the film covers his brief career. He was a talented driver who proved himself with two Grand Prix victories, but his career was tragically cut short. The title of his autobiography ‘Speed with Style’ provides a fitting epitaph. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
Épisode 8 - Clay Regazzoni
Never a World Champion Clay Regazzoni , was a colourful, flamboyant character, remains one of the most evocative names in Formula One history. A great favourite with fans, especially during his two spells with Ferrari, and his all or nothing approach, he was never far from a scrap or spin. Responsible for scoring Williams first ever Grand Prix wins, he was one of the few drivers to be fired and re-hired by Enzo Ferrari. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
Épisode 9 - Sir Frank Williams
Frank Williams preached a fundamentalist doctrine: create speed and reliability through technology and you are the Motor Racing Champion of the World, but there were few converts to his credo in his first ten years due to his lack of achievement. The film follows his dedication to his ideas after launching himself as a Formula One team owner and eventually his success winning the first of his nine World Championship titles in 1980. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss. Also featured in this episode is Alan Jones during his time with the Williams team.
Épisode 10 - Ronnie Peterson
Regarded as one of the best drivers never to have won the World Championship, Ronnie Peterson was the nearly man of Formula One. More naturally talented than Andretti, but for an agreement that he would always play second string to the American, whenever they were in contention together, he would always play the supporting role. He died after a multiple pile up at Monza. A sad and tragic end to a talented driver. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
Épisode 11 - Enzo Ferrari
This is the most magnificent story of motor racing history. Ferrari – 1898-1988 is the essence of the man and his machines illuminated by exclusive footage and interviews with Ferrari himself, and many of those who were key to his years of glory. The film illustrates the year of transition in Grand Prix racing in 1970. The season pitched the old guard against a feisty new breed of racers intent on pushing Formula One forward into a new decade and the inevitable technological battles. Narrated by Sir Christopher Lee.
Épisode 12 - Mika Hakkinen
Mika Hakkinen was an early starter, winning his first Karting Championship at the age of nine. The film takes up his story in 1987 when 19 year old Hakkinen arrived in Uk for a Formula Ford 2000 test. The film traces the ‘Flying Finn’s’ unstoppable progress through the lower ranks of European motorsport to his Formula One debut in 1991. Narrated by Sir Stirling Moss.
