9pm, Steve McQueen The Lost Movie, Sky Documentaries channel.

Focuses on the motor racing movie he nearly made in 1965 called Day of The Champion. It took its inspiration from Formula 1, only for McQueen to lose the greatest race of his professional life. Another movie, John Frankenheimer’s Grand Prix, starring
James Garner, came out and played a central role in the cancellation of the project.

And just how would you feel,
working as a cameraman, sitting by the right rear
wheel of a Lola T-70 V8, missing it's rear body,
facing backwards as the driver tries to stay ahead
of the subject movies F1 cars?

Try not to get too seasick!!!

Perhaps this takes one to a picture:
