This is the definitive story of Formula 1 Motor Racing: the world’s richest, most exciting and glamorous sport, drawing a global TV audience of 600 million viewers for each race and inspiring legions of loyal fans worldwide.

Paul Crowder, whose credits include the Spitfire projects, Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who and The Last Play At Shea as well as Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos will direct and Mark Monroe, writer of Academy Award winner The Cove, Amazing Journey, and the 2010 Sundance sensation The Tillman Story join forces to produce a visually spectacular and arresting film – a unique ‘Action’ documentary’.

Using interviews, professional race footage and rare personal 16mm film footage, in addition to modern film technology and a dynamic, musically driven style, the film will be infused with adrenalin and high octane excitement.

This documentary film celebrates the history of Formula 1. From the spectacular birth of “the greatest show on earth” we chart the rise of Formula 1 through the “Golden Era” – the late 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. From a time when the cars became terrifyingly fast and the racing drivers were like rock stars with raw talent – and whose chances of not surviving a single season could be as high as 1 in 15 – to today’s ultra high-tech, spare no expense, ever-sexy circus.
