		While Grand Prix Legends provided the most realistic (and hence, difficult) simulation of automotive physics in a PC game at its launch, the reputation of "difficult to drive" was exacerbated by a number of decisions made both for the demo and the launch of version 1.0.
		Grand Prix cars from 1967 typically ran 5 to 6 inches of ground clearance, unlike the later ground effect cars that were designed to have the chassis as close to the ground as possible.
		There is now a new Grand Prix Legends 2004 Demo that has all the required patches and upgrades to the cars and the one track included.

		Jackie Oliver's practice crash in the Lotus 49B at Rouen in July 1968, followed by disastrous accidents for both Graham Hill and Jochen Rindt during the 1969 Spanish GP at Montjuich Pack, caused wings to be banned for Monaco and the balance of the championship that year.

	Eagle Eye: The Eagle Gurney-Weslake F1 Effort
		When the first car appeared in Zandvoort at the Dutch Grand Prix in 1967, it received a lot of admiring stares from the public and the experts and was showered with publicity.
		The 1968 season, overshadowed by Jimmy Clark's death in April, proved to be very difficult with a dwindling budget, but we managed to hold on for a little while longer and participate in 5 races, finishing only one which ironically I consider one of the best drives of my entire career.
		The Italian Grand Prix in Monza, a month later, was to be the last Grand Prix for this car.

		Fittingly, the new team's cars would be called "Eagles." The Grand Prix Eagle had many teething problems, including late delivery of the custom-built Gurney-Weslake V-12 engine.
		Although on an overall basis the Eagle Grand Prix program was not successful, Dan Gurney can justifiably be proud of what he was able to accomplish against the heavily financed factory teams in Europe.
		His victory in the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix still stands as a remarkable achievement considering the small size and limited resources of the All American Racers team at the the time.

	GRAND PRIX REDUX: The Italian Stallion Does Maranello
		By coincidence or design, Grand Prix seems to be enjoying a renaissance itself; the movie has been aired recently on several TV stations around the world, and is also now available on home video.
		In the era of "Grand Prix", the drivers themselves were also an interesting lot and Frankenheimer seems to have enlisted several of the drivers as actors with bit parts; Graham Hill and Jo Bonnier appear frequently and even the late Juan Manuel Fangio drops by a cocktail party at Monaco, playing himself.
		Since a few carbon-fibre melee's are doubtless in the offing in the course of making the film, why not have available to the film production company the cars from last year to spare, or build more with the autoclaves and factories teams have at their disposal.

		An erratic early F3 career with a private Brabham brought him to the notice of the French Matra team and he joined Beltoise and Pescarolo on the tidal wave of young talent which surged forward into F1 during the second half of the decade.
		At Monza, he drove a second place in the 1968 Italian Grand Prix and stayed aboard the French works team to win the following year's European F2 Championship.
		Either way, it robbed the sport of a man whose whole demeanour and image cast him in the romantic role of a potential Grand Prix hero.

		However as the Grand Prix entered its final phase, Clark's Lotus ran out of fuel and Surtees, stretching the Honda engine to approaching 12000rpm, started to close on Brabham.
		Rounding the final turn, the Englishman made full use of the RA300's power to surge past his rival to record a dramatic victory by a mere 0.2 seconds in what was the fastest race of the 1967 season.
