Overview

Jaguar E-types, Ferrari 250 LMs and Formula 3 race cars make for a heady cocktail of speed in this action packed race day. Besides capturing glamorous ladies sheltering beneath an umbrella in the stand, the filmmaker manages to get up close and personal with the Formula 3 event. There's also a remarkable shot of Bobbies caught picnicking beside a spun out racer.
