seen it, to be brutal i thought it was a bit meh.

it's no senna (film) which drew in non-motor racing viewers.

this film is strictly for fans.

for another view of kiwis racing in the '60s try "trio at the top".

I loved it !!
But then I'm a petrol head from that era.

it was ok but devoid of any sense of drama.

we heard about how good a bloke mclaren was and his many sucesses and nothing else.

as simon morris/national radio surmised, this was more a testimonial than a serious documentary.

I thought the fact that Denny and Stefan(?) were compelled to continue the can-am, despite burnt hands was notable. The Senna doco showed someone who was slightly flawed, I thought.

the best heroes are flawed
and the best bio-docos are the ones that show the darkness.

there was a better trailer made back in 2013 to celebrate 50 years of the mclaren racing team
