| Re: Bizarre idea?
They had a special viewing of the movie "Grand Prix"a while back on tv. When making the movie they used an original GT40 as a tow car to pull a trailer with the body of a formula car that the actors had to sit in at 130 mph to photograph for the shots of thc cars spinning around. The camera was on the 40 and the passenger in the 40 pulled a rope that made the formula body turn like it was spinning.
James Garner was interviewed.The day theactors saw their number on the formula car they new who had to get in that thing going 130 mph. None of them wanted to do it, but the picture was made with those spinns in it.
Just a little GT 40 history you may have seen.
