Nigel Mansell's Grand Prix Victories 1985-1992
by Formula One Constructors Association (1992)

Narrated by the BBC's famed Murray Walker, and interlaced with an exclusive interview, this video relives all the moments of Nigel Mansell’s F1 magic, from his emotional first breakthrough win in the 1985 European GP at Brands Hatch to the “Red 5” battles with Piquet at Williams in 1986-87, the spectacular pursuit of Senna in 1991 and the dominant 9-win World Championship season in the 1992 “active” Williams. A tremendous compendium of footage of “Il Leone” at his best. (90 minutes)

A Star Named Ayrton Senna
by Ayrton Senna Foundation Ltd. (1998)

Ayrton Senna's "official" memoir video is based on two films covering his life right up until Imola in May '94, plus subsequent reminiscences and personal insights from Senna's family, friends, colleagues, rivals, mentors, teammates and managers. Senna reveals, in his own words, his meticulous professional approach, his tactics for achieving mental and physical fitness, and his thoughts on the risks of racing, religion and the controversies that marked his record-setting career. The video includes extensive action footage from many of Senna's most memorable GP races plus earlier footage of his karting days. This is without a doubt the best Senna video ever! (112 minutes)

Grand Prix
by John Frankenheimer (1966)

Perhaps the best Formula One movie ever made, Grand Prix features tremendous photography shot in actual GP races during the 1965 Formula One season, with cameos from some of the famous drivers of the era. Starring James Garner as an almost washed-up US driver forced to take the second seat for a new Japanese F1 team (a/k/a Honda), this film is a little trite and very dated — but the Monza banking scenes still cannot be beat! (175 minutes)

Murray Walker's Fantastic Moments
by Murray Walker (1997)

The voice that has launched a thousand “Murrayisms” in Great Britain takes the viewer on an unforgettable ride from 1976 through 1997 for the drama and excitement of over 20 years of Formula One motor racing. Included is footage ranging from the fabulous duel between Gilles Villeneuve and René Arnoux at the '79 French Grand Prix to Senna's 1993 opening lap magic in the rain at Donnington Park. Walker has seen them all, and this personal memoir is a video ode to the best F1 moments of the modern, TV era of Grand Prix racing. (90 minutes)

Ayrton Senna: Racing Is In My Blood
by Jean-Claude Guiter (1992)

Produced before his death, this "official video biography" of Ayrton Senna gave many Formula One fans — including this reviewer — their first glimpse at the real man behind the fabled yellow helmet. That perspective is markedly different from the aggressive, focused and controversial personality of the F1 cockpit. Like him or not, this video reveals Senna as he truly was. (55 minutes)

Le Mans
by Lee H. Katzin (1971)

It isn’t Formula One, but Le Mans is a classic motor racing movie, with some excellent action scenes from the Mulsanne Straight before the era of chicanes. Today’s Le Mans also continues to showcase many former F1 drives each year. And Steve McQueen is, of course, great on any kind of motorized vehicle. You can wait for Speedvision’s “Lost Drive In” series to show it, or buy your a copy for your own video library. (106 minutes)

Formula Villeneuve: A Tribute to Gilles Villeneuve
by Macadam Films (1983)

During his short lifetime, Gilles Villeneuve exuded a particular type of magic that quickly transformed him into a motor racing legend. This film, produced by his compatriots, includes remembrances from the likes of Enzo Ferrari, Fangio, Moss, Lauda, Prost, Scheckter, Andretti, Tambay, Lafitte and Canadian ex-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Somewhat short on real action footage, this is more a memoir than a racing video. (56 minutes)
