We then visit the Monaco Grand Prix where an opening lap crash ends the race for BRM driver Richie Ginther and Bruce McLaren goes on to win the race driving a Cooper. At the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa with see the race including the aftermath of a serious crash for Willy Mairesse and Trevor Taylor. Next at a motor museum at Cleres in France we see Hill attempting to ride a Penny Farthing and driving a veteran car. The final race of the 1962 season is in South Africa and we see drivers Jim Clark and Hill prior to the race and views of the action on the track. Clark retires and Hill goes on to win the race and the championship. We then see events at the 1963 Monaco Grand Prix with Hill winning. On to 1964 we see the BRM team with Richie Ginther testing a new four wheel drive car at Snetterton and research and development work on racing car bodies. This is followed by the European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch which is narrowly won by Clark in a Lotus from Hill and then the 1964 Monaco Grand Prix which Hill again wins. The remainder of the season is illustrated with scenes from the Austrian Grand Prix at Zeltweg and the final race at Mexico City. Hill has a minor accident in Mexico with Dan Gurney winning the race and John Surtees the championship. We continue with the 1965 Monaco Grand Prix with Hill and new team mate Jackie Stewart. Hill again wins. Next we see races from the 1966 Tasman series with Hill winning the New Zealand Grand Prix at Pukekhoe and Richard Attwood winning at Levin also in a BRM. Stewart is also seen winning a race in New Zealand before the cars are transported to Australia for the next leg of the series at Warwick Farm which is won by Jim Clark in a Lotus. Hill returns to the series at the Australian Grand Prix at Lakeside which he wins.
