Dear Chris,

We did it!!!

Warner Home Video has announced that John Frankenheimer's classic 'Grand Prix' will be released in the US on July 11, 2006 in a Two Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition.


Special Features will include four never before seen documentaries and the archival film 'Grand Prix: Challenge of the Champions', taking viewers behind the scenes of '60s Formula One racing. The restored 65mm film will be released in widescreen format with a re-mastered Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack.


To reserve your copy of Grand Prix from the first shipment on July 11, fill out the Secure Order Form at http://www.PutGrandPrixOnDVD.com. Orders will be filled by The Motorsport Collector in Downers Grove, Illinois. All Major Credit cards accepted. We ship worldwide.
All of you who signed our online Petition - more than 7,000 fans from more than 40 countries - deserve credit for convincing the powers that be to release this classic bit of racing history on DVD. You made it happen!


As of now, we are only aware of a US/Canada release date. We'll keep you informed of further developments via email or you can visit isit http://www.MotorsportCollector.com or http://www.PutGrandPrixOnDVD.com for the latest information.

Sincerely yours,

Yes indeedy it is due July 11. Amazon and another site are taking pre-orders right now. Having seen it in the theater when first released-this version should be really good. The VHS isn't bad but this one has a lot more. It took petitions from over 7000 fans to make this happen and I hope every one will buy it. Remembr that at least one scene-Monza crash-is based on an actual tragic event. Do you know who the driver was?
Paul Zimmerman rocks for his effort

It's finally out!!

Looks and sounds great!

Has some great extras about F1 in the 60's and some great commentary by some of the drivers. Peter Windsor from SPEED channel is on there as well.

If you'd like to see it before you buy it, it will be on TCM this Saturday (7/15/06)
