Excellent documentary about 1970's racing icons Barry Sheene (motorcycling) & James Hunt (Formula1). It focuses mostly on their 1976's winning season, 500cc motorcycling World Championship for Sheene (his first victory out of two in his career) and Formula1 World Championship for Hunt (the only World Champion title of his career). Very interesting is the comparison between the two 1970's sports icons and today's famous sportsmen. Also very interesting are the 70's footage and 70's & 80's advertising featuring the two stars. This documentary will caught your attention either your interested or not into sports & racing.
