Grand Prix(1966)
American Grand Prix driver Pete Aron is fired by his Jordan-BRM racing team after a crash at Monaco that injures his British teammate, Scott Stoddard. While Stoddard struggles to recover, Aron begins to drive for the Japanese Yamura team, and becomes romantically involved with Stoddard's estranged wife.

But guess what? They didn't. We have an often stunningly gorgeous new AVC/1080p encode in 2.21:1 that aside from a couple of very minor issues is practically perfect in every way. The image is startlingly sharp and well defined, as befits its large format source elements, with wonderfully robust and well saturated colors. Grain structure is still naturally intact and there is virtually no damage whatsoever. The minor issues involve some passing, though prominent, flicker in some of the second unit aerial photography, as well as the added dirt and grime, as well as softness, that is part and parcel of the optical elements like the split screen sequences. Grand Prix Blu-ray, Audio QualityAudio has also been upgraded on this Blu-ray release, to a blisteringly effective lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix. This is an incredibly immersive and robust track, full of booming low end in the race sequences that will literally vibrate your floorboards. The race sound effects are incredibly effective, with great panning effects keeping the listener squarely in the middle of a very involving surround presentation. Maurice Jarre's score, which is frankly not my favorite outing by the composer, is also very well represented on this track. Dialogue is clean, crisp and very well mixed, and despite the soundtrack's age, there's surprisingly little boxiness or hiss evident.
