Garner was perfect for it.
Anyone know he was a race car driver? Hurt his leg?
See him in Barbarians at the Gate? Great flick.
Stop by your local video store and rent Grand Prix....
Yes, Garner did his own F1 driving in the film.
Besides, you'll see icons of F1. Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Lorenzo Bandini (died at Monaco the next year), Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham, John Surtees and a host of others.
Once you get past the required romantic interludes, the driving and photography are amazing.
Also, try to find Steve McQueen's epic, Le Mans.
You can get both as a package from Amazon for $27.
