A treat for racing fans here, with lively scenes from Aintree Motor Racing Circuit. Shot by talented filmmaker Jim Evans, racing enthusiast and honorary member of Aintree Circuit Club, the film takes us back to the scorching summer of 1976. As well as thrills on the track, we see Lancashire driver Janet McPherson preparing to race, and French driver Yves Sarazin, who raced in the UK in the 1970s.
