Champions Hawthorn & Collins VHS - Description
A tribute to two great personalities of Fifties motor racing - Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn - featuring unique film footage and rare interviews with Tony Brooks, Lofty England, Stirling Moss, Phil Hill and Roy Salvadori. To his admirers, Collins was the Golden Boy of 1950s British motor racing who could out-drive anyone when he was determined to win. Tragically, he lost his life at the Nurburgring in 1958, the same year his great friend Mike Hawthorn became Britain’s first World Motor Racing Champion. Hawthorn retired the following year but died in a road accident not long after. Here we remember these two outstanding drivers, both on and off the track, and vividly recall a Golden Era in motor racing
