Is this the chap who plays Thor?
What exact period was this made 70 75 79?

Its the build up to the 1976 season Jay

Oh okay I was just born hence not familiar with it all!
Is it the formula 1 cars with six wheels  :shocked: you learn something new I'll have to watch it now, and Ill give you my feed back on this movie.
Only problem with period films, they are not usually right and over drama everything to make it look good  :undecided:

The 6 wheeled Tyrrell only did a couple of seasons iirc it was 76 to 78, and possibly dumped because of updated regulations, I'm sure it'll be well explained on Wiki...
The 76 season was quite literally unbelievable, and is generally the reference point that people refer to when they say that F1 isn't like it used to be!

If you want to know what F1 used to be like, go and watch a "Formula Ford" race at any circuit!

And they're trying to ruin that by letting them run with aero, too!

I believe the film is more about the life of James Hunt than F1?

Its about Niki, and James's relationship/rivalry leading up to the 76 season Len
