Formula 1 1956.

July 7, 2014

Terrific Stuff Videos, £17.99.
Chris Nixon, author, amongst amongst other things, of Racing the Silver Arrows and Mon Ami Mate, has recently set up his own video enterprise, after stumbling across a pirate copy of this title while researching his epic work on Messrs Hawthorn and Collins.

BP still had the original film, a high quality review of the 1956 season covering F1 action from Monza, the ‘Ring, Rheims, Spa and elsewhere. It is now available in video format, and is the first of what Nixon and BP hope will be several releases. The three Ferraris screaming down the straight at Rheims together justify the cover price on their own. All in all, a rare treat. Stop reading and get on the mail order line now. The tapes are available direct from the appropriately-named Terrific Stuff on 081-891 1872. SA

Editor-at-large

Intrigued by cars almost from birth, Simon was still at school when he persuaded a local newspaper editor that he really, really needed to run race reports from Oulton Park, Aintree and elsewhere. He has since followed the sport all over the planet and edited several titles, including Motoring News, Autocourse and this one (August 1991-October 1996).
