The Challenge of Indy - Michl Technik

The Indianapolis 500 remains one of the greatest sporting spectacles on Earth, and one of motorsport’s most famous events. Now Duke celebrates the wonderful heritage of this legendary event in The Challenge of Indy.

The DVD features three rarely seen, actionpacked archive films charting two remarkable years of racing at Indianapolis, 1964 and 1973, plus the 1965
12 Hours of Sebring

These unique films are from the BP Video Library, and this DVD is part of a series of releases from this extensive archive. Each title stands alone, but
many enthusiasts will wish to collect the entire BP Video Library collection

The 1964 Indy 500 is notable for being the last year a frontengined car would win. As Jim Clark and his Lotus team moved closer and closer to victory, A.J.
Foyt would uphold American honours for one more year. The 1973 contest is remembered for the bizarre events which surrounded the race. Our second film, Going to Extremes, reveals how legends like Foyt, Mario Andretti, Al Unser and Bobby Unser had to wait out days of frustration before turning a wheel.

12 Hour Grind takes us back to the rain-hit 1965 running of the Sebring sports car race, which saw Dan Gurney, Graham Hill, Paddy Hopkirk, Ritchie Ginther and more battling in roaring racing machines
like the Ford GT40, AC Cobra and Chaparral

The release will be accompanied by a PR and marketing campaign targeting specialist titles, including Autosport, Classic and Sports Car, Octane and Motorsport, national newspapers and more than
100 other proven media contacts
