Having watched a few motorsport documentaries recently and thoroughly enjoying them i was wondering if anyone else had any recommendations. Ones i have watched recently include;

Truth 24 II - Every Second Counts
TT3D
Senna
The series of old f1 drivers ones on bbc4 last year: Jim Clark/Graham Hill etc
Motogp Fastest

anymore recommendations?
 
Dust to Glory

Epic story of the Baja 1000, and a really well made film.

There are a few other Le Mans ones from over the last few years too, but I can't remember the names.
 
I remember watching the Sir Stirling Moss interview abit ago, with Richard Hammond. More a long interview, with loads of good clips. Was a really good watch :)
 
Try and find an old Horizon program that was released on VHS in a much longer form. They did 2 actually, 1 about pre war GP cars and one about cars of just after the war and both were fabulous in their day. Forget the names but think it was Supercharged or something similar, but the pre-war one had some epic Mercedes/Auto Union footage. The TV program was too short, find the full programs released on video of you can.
 
The Mclaren Factory one was good (National Geographic Megafactories).

There was a good Peugeot Le Mans documentary from the year they won [2009], but it is en francais and I don't think any youtube versions would have decent subtitles.

I'd also recommend 24hours - One Team. One Target. It follows Schnitzer Motorsport (de facto BMW works team) in the run-in to the 2011 24 Hours of Nurburgring.
 
Is there a follow up series, MSC - Driven to break cars? :)
lol good one....
the ECU protects the car from a driver from beeing able to ruin the engine , gearbox , clutch etc ;)

maybe he breaks a record soon for consecutive non finishs due to mechanical failures and team incompetence ?
