Description: Rarely has there been a Formula 1 Grand Prix where audience participation played such a role in the outcome of the race - at least on paper - than the 1976 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch. dukevideo.com/prd5357/F1-1976-British-Grand-Prix-DVD This remarkable film charts the twists and turns of a race that was controversial at the time, and has remained so ever since. The '76 season saw the titanic battle between McLaren's James Hunt and Ferrari's Niki Lauda and racing in front of his home crowd, Hunt hoped to be the first English driver to win on home soil for 18 years. Within seconds, it looked as if Hunt's ambition wouldn't come to pass, but what followed was an incredible moment in F1 history, now often overlooked because of the crash which nearly killed Lauda two weeks later at the Nurburgring. Get ready for a fantastic slice of GP history and incredible race footage of cars like the Ferrari 312, six-wheeled Elf Team Tyrell P34, Lotus 77, McLaren M23 and more.
