Cannot argue with your top 2 .I have watched these many times and think of Ayrton Senna often wishing he was still around . Luckily Guy Martin is still with us
Rodger Donaldson directed "Burt Munro: Offerings to the God of Speed" in 1971. In 2005 it was made into a Full Length movie .... "The Worlds Fastest Indian" .
As an American I recommend "NASCAR IMAX". Yes it's a little old but it's a perfect starting point to get what that particular motorsport series is about.
Another great video MFP. Even though I have a few of these on dvd, motor sport documentaries is something I have not thought of much, I'll be on the look-out for some of these now.
3 out of 10! (not a score of the vid!) As usual an excellent video. I went to the cinema to see 'Senna' and 'Closer to the edge'. Not many dry eyes in the cinema when Senna ended and the lights came up, excellent film but still a sad and shocking ending even with the knowledge of knowing exactly what happened.
Yes. I cannot remember exactly where I saw Senna, perhaps in the cinema, but I doubt it. But when I did see it, I remember I was not a big F1 fan at all. Almost the opposite. I had been at places many years ago almost getting into a fight with people who were watching pole position on one channel and I would change the channel to watch a movie thinking "Its not the race, don't see the importance." After seeing this doc, though still not a hard core fan of the sport, I gained a greater respect for it and am now a huge fan of this doc and the legend of Ayrton Senna himself.
Was only familiar with the Steve McQueen footage, to me he was the original Stunt Driver/Actor an him being the producer to most if not all his work. He was a naturally talented Driver of cars, as well as motor cycles. Many say Jackie Chan is the Greatest Stunt Actor of all time, though he is and was always grounded or to scaffolding. Tom Cruise is bar far Ultimate Stunt Actor ground based vehicle pilot, to helicopter, and now actual pilot of an F-18 Hornet. Halo Jump only Civilian Mountain Climbing, Hold his breath for 6.5 minutes in 1 scene he stood 7 minutes and actually drowned, and finally broke his foot, which led to using cables for the rest of his carrier
re: Winning - Newman "took is racing career that little bit further..." a) having come to it relatively late and, b) at an age by which McQueen was already *dead* - so hardly fair comparison: who's to say what McQueen could have achieved had he lived? Few new to me which I'll check out (thanks) but Is this is list of racing or _racers_ ? Either way two F1, plus Senna - where's rally, where's dakar? What about two wheels? ('Too Fast To Race', 'Madness in the Desert' & 'Faster' respectively) Love the Beast is OK, but only on a top 10 if you've only ever _seen_ 10. What about a quickie? Climb Dance: Ari Vatanen going up Pikes Peak, at times singlehandedly in every sense of the word, in mental Peugeot 405 T16 in less than ten mins Senna is a good for a broader audience - but it's a polemic _not_ a documentary; didn't like him then, don't like him now. Anyone who has real interest in Senna needs to watch 'Senna vs Brundle' - which gives a more balanced, nuanced overview into Senna's character and insight into some his subsequent behaviour in F1
You sir, nailed it! 👍
Saw "On any Sunday" in the theater when it first was released, I was 9. Been a motorsports fan ever since!!!
Le Mans. Steve McQueen. Not a documentary but superb.

There were also two documents about rallying - "Too fast to race" and "Still to fast too race"
Another great video MFP.

Cheers. Glad you liked it.
Nice job.
What people dont know about Peter Brock, is that once he stepped out of a car...he was like Frank Spencer.!!!
Brilliant quality as ever 👌👌
Thank you.

RIP THE FLYING DOCTOR JOHN HINDS
Dale is another fantastic race documentary about Dale Earnhardt.
Check out "Crash and Burn", about Tommy Byrne. Great story., I can guarantee it.

If you haven't seen it yet there's a pretty good documentary on RUclips about the black ghost
