Peter Collins: a breed apart
David Rothauser – DVD
A labour of love, celebrating a time when drivers approached their motor racing with a strong sense of fair play and few embodied this more than Collins. This charts his grand prix and sports car career from 1950 to 1958, but it isn’t just another tribute Rothauser explores Collins’s legendary sporting spirit, exemplified by him relinquishing his car to Fangio In 1956 when he was poised to become Britain’s first World Champion. Interviews with Sir Stirling Moss, Donald Healey, Olivier Gendebien and members of Collins family and his nanny reveal that Collins was adored and respected in equal measure a shame, then, that some of the dubbing is poor. But the overwhelming impression is admiration for a prodigious driving talent PH
