"Grand Prix" opening sequence w/ "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac

Project for a sound design subject at uni in the first half of 2015. We had to pick an opening sequence from a movie or a TV series to redo its audio track - supposedly without using the original audio track at all. I picked "Grand Prix" (1966) and then I put "The Chain" on the audio track; that is a tune used for decades in the opening credits of the BBC Formula One broadcasts in the United Kingdom. Although I did end up using much of the original audio in some parts (yes I broke the rules by using it but anyways) and the sound editing itself isn't very neat, I think the music fitted in wonderfully. There is no video editing other than the removal of an entire middle section (in which the drivers are presented and also has a lot of credits) and the fading-out at the end. Sound effects which aren't from the movie's actual soundtrack were either downloaded from the web or taken from the "GTR 2" PC game (SimBin Studios, 2006). Hope you enjoy

To us Brits, that music is Formula 1. That Film "Grand Prix" is a classic from the 1960's.

I still say it, this is the F1 theme, the rest of it just ain't got it

@@rickgrimes7072 Bitch ass we probably colonised you so fuck off this music was f1 to brits for years we know how good it is

[@dylannnnnnnnn]

This is the F1 Anthem. In the US they don't know what real F1 is. They just watch cars turn left around an oval.

[@AvaToyShow]

This worked well, the heartbeat part was the only part that let it down a bit, needed some echo on it or something. I enjoyed all of it

[@chapulimholorado]

Ava Toy Show review channel Agreed. I always thought the whole idea of the video could be much better executed, despite the video being good enough as an uni work.

[@Vilphy37]

I didnt expect a toy channel to like F1 with good taste

[@NeilTheFerret1]

this song was F1, as soon as we heard it we all sat down as a family and watched :)

[@stuartleroy4672]

One of the greatest opening sequences to a movie.

[@bondmode]

the goosebumps, though

[@dereksmith6126]

I still watch that film every now and again.

[@LaurenceMillerMTB]

i have never been a fan of f1 but this is art

[@rrr43875]

Damn it!! WHY DIDN'T "RUSH" START WITH THIS SONG??

[@nigeh5326]

Maybe the cost of paying Fleetwood Mac to use it was too expensive

[@rizlar38]

two things in formula 1 murray walker and fleetwood mac the chain

[@simplygregsterev]

I just found this now... Ddamn good!

[@mySelf-yx4hw]

i've just found this it's very good, would be nice it was used for the Grand Prix on tv

[@abigray8585]

[@cameroncook2048]

[@adillakandi.r]

This person not aged well

[@nigeh5326]

Lol it has been in part used for British TV F1 coverage since 1978

[@2charliep]

Clearly not British.

[@scottgolden2766]

I was hoping to see the foot work that was one of the best things in the movie

[@mySelf-yx4hw]

Very well done
Maybe they should use it in the film as an alternative sound track to the British Grand prix section of the film

[@smaaht2531]

wasn’t the movie literally made in the 60s lol

[@Oblio1942]

excellent.

[@alanheath7056]

[@Snookbone]

Honestly, with a bit of polish, this should have been the start of the film.

[@mapper7310]

to be fair the movie came out before fleetwood mac was even a thing lol

Declan Mcgee Are you blind? It's literally on the title and at the start of the video. *Grand Prix(1966)*

[@taipanx011269]

TommyKiryu 777 actually yes I am registered blind. That's why I asked, because of the commentary I would have liked to listen to the film. Any other comments ( oh and if you're wondering how I can reply. It all gets read out to me )

[@RockbertoRocks]

Love Fleetwood Mac, but this is NO MUSIC for action-packed F1

[@dylannnnnnnnn]

Well you don't know the F1 Anthem. It's this song. The chain

[@thisdanguy]

So you're gonna ignore The fact that BBC used this as the F1 anthem

[@Snookbone]

Jesus Fuck you're so incredibly wrong

[@linusschmutz3985]

You better hear Buckinghams live solos even better

[@187Blondie]

You have no idea how many people directly associate this song with F1, this song IS F1.

[@An-Alien-On-Earth]

Rubbish.

[@dylannnnnnnnn]

What the hell man. Was it because of the song because my greatgrandad had that song at his funeral.
