I second the recommendation.  That is a very interesting documentary.

Just got Amazon Prime so I could get Christmas presents here quick.. been wanting to get it so I could watch GT, and finally got a reason. I'm a huge fan of Top Gear, and love those guys.. haven't; made it to season 2 of GT yet., and I've been hoping they get rid of the "American" driving the cars around the track. He's annoying, makes us look bad, and adds nothing to the show. I'll add these movies to my que. Thanks

I'm not a particular F1 fan but I just finished watching the Amazon Prime movie titled "1". It's about the evolution of the F1 racing series and especially the safety advances. The movie had the hair on my neck on end and tears in my eyes. It's extremely well filmed with a killer sound track and sound in general. Having a Lotus made me grin that much more.

Another series I watched was the Le Mans movie. It spotlighted 6 teams/drivers for the time leading up to and during the 24 hours of Le Mans. Having attended the vintage event last year it was an even greater thrill to watch.

Lastly the Grand Tour show is fun and funny to see. I had burned up countless Top Gear shows on Netflix but now the Amazon Prime people have assembled the cast on Grand Tour. Yes, it's cheesy and scripted, but it's still fun to watch. Some of the cars are killer, some stupid. Can't stand the 'professional driver' in the first series but they do well to address it.

Curious what you guys think. Being a gear head and having attended some great racing events over the years (not to mention growing up in a racing family) makes these shows a good way to forget the sub zero temperatures outside and the fact that my cars are well hibernated.
