Some murky clips, but excellent coverage of in-race photography in an era before electronic visual effects when lives were risked to obtain footage. The Porsche 908 camera car finished 8th overall! This despite the added weight and the need for additional pit stops to change out film canisters.

I watch this movie every year since 2008 the night before the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. It is great inspiration for me!
