Yup ,watched it good while back.It's a very powerful documentary and really demonstrates how close to the edge these guys were and the complete disregard for driver and spectator safety there was.

The playboy element had a big part of what went on until the likes of Stewart started piping up (that doesn't change the fact I think he's an annoying little git) and the more high profile incidents happened.

Well worth the watch even if you are a lapsed F1 fan.
