A SCORCHER OF A DAY, A SCORCHER OF A RACE!

On Bank Holiday Monday, August 1965, the biggest names in motorsport arrived at the legendary Brands Hatch circuit to compete in one of the most exciting, and spectacular, race meetings, the Guards International.

Now you can experience the exhilaration of watching driving greats like Formula One World Champions John Surtees, Graham Hill, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart and Denny Hulme pounding around the famous Kent circuit in monster sports cars from Lotus, Ferrari, McLaren Elva and Lola – with many developing more than 500bhp!

4047_322210277.jpgDuke, the home of great motorsport on DVD, has tracked down another archive classic to bring to a new generation of racing fans.

Wonderful colour film brings you all the action from both races, with informed commentary keeping you fully informed and interviews with stars like Surtees, Hill, Clark and Bruce McLaren revealing what it was like to blast around Brands in these ‘Big Bangers’.

Incredible race footage shows these incredible cars at full tilt, the drivers battling to control the awesome power.

However, what makes Big Bangers at Brands an essential addition to any enthusiast’s collection is the sounds of these amazing sports cars at speed – the V8 Ford-engined Lotus 40 of Clark, the 4.4 litre Ferrari 365P2s, the Lolas of Stewart and Surtees with their 5.8 litre Chevrolet power units….you will want to relish these evocative engine notes again and again.
