"Why not delve back through Brickyard history with this story of the rear-engined revolution led by Colin Chapman and Jim Clark in the mid 1960s. Great footage, narrated by the 'voice of Indy' Sid Collins, makes this historic film highly collectable" Autosport "The Indy 500 is the world series of racing, and in the Sixties and Seventies, US motorsport didn't get any more important. This DVD might only last for 25 minutes (the other 27 are devoted to a 'Ford Flat Out' feature), but rich cinematography combines well with a behind-the-scenes look at the 1965 event, won by Jim Clark in a Ford-powered Lotus. Interviews with those involved are all that's missing" Auto Express.
