Haven't seen it, saw it advertised and didn't watch it.

Seen the footage of David Purley on YouTube, heart breaking

Thanks for the link, I hadn't even seen it advertised so missed it.

David Purley was a childhood hero of mine, I have his autograph (on a LEC Refrigeration complement slip!)

I watched this the other evening and you do wonder what made them continue.

I suppose that all of those deaths did result in the development of safer road car, but the attitude of the team principle did seem to leave a lot to be desired.
