Brilliant Promo
What a cracking ad for the DVD. As has already been said Fantastic Machines and like a couple of other posters I would love to drive one!

Now where is that Lottery Ticket!

Wow. When even the trailer is cool... I amused myself by running it several times in a row and trying to figure out all the tracks they show. Saw what I thought was Riverside, definitely Road America, Mosport... what track had the sandbanks on either side?

I want one. That's my childhood talking.

Was I imagining it or did the wing on the white car flatten out as it exited a bend near the beginning of the Innovation section? If that was F1 now, Max would have puppies.

I got wind of this DVD's launch a few days ago and can't wait for it to come out. It looks fantastic with creative direction in keeping with the period.

No it wasn't your imagination working overtime. The Chapparal had a moveable rear wing which feathered on the straights and went into a steeper angle through the corners when the car decelerated.

lower drag on the straights and full downforce in the corner.
yeah, even better is that it had a three speed AUTO transmission and the clutch was used to move the wing....

I can only agree with you there! That trailer looks superb, with some awesome sounds, think I'll be investing in this one! Is there any particular release date or are we still waiting on that kinda news?

Published by Arco Publishing Company - 1973
ISBN 0-668-03304-5
