bcobbus should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Was there a planned film on the life of Enzo Ferrari? I remember Brock Yates saying something about it at one time?

It was really funny seeing some of the drivers trying to act in Grand Prix. Graham Hill is my favorite example. A great racer indeed! Now his acting skills, well that is another story....

What both Grand Prix and Le Mans have in common is the nearly unlimited access they had to tracks and other facilities. Also the people behind them where racing purists, who did not sacrifice quality to save money. When Grand Prix was on Speed Chennel as while back, they had a behind the secenes of the movie talking to James Gardner, and the late John Franconheimer. Sadly I doubt any movies such as Grand Prix, Le Mans, or ever Winning will ever be made again....
