Wheelbase: The Grand Prix Circus

on BBC Two England

Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motor racing.

The thirty-six-year-old American director John Frankenheimer has spent the summer making an $8-million film about the world of the racing driver. Called Grand Prix, it has been filmed on the race circuits at Monaco, Spa, and Brands Hatch, where tonight's Wheelbase was recorded. Is the film a true portrait of the champion racing driver? Will it create a wider audience for motor sport generally?
