You might be interested to know that the 2001 documentary "Trio At The Top" is available online on NZ On Screen. It's there in full, and free to view for anyone with internet access. The synopsis : The documentary uses archive footage and interviews to tell the story of motor-racing legends Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, and Chris Amon. The trio topped podiums in the sport's ‘golden age' - one of those eras when unlikely Kiwi talent managed to dominate a truly global sport. The Team McLaren racing team that four times Grand Prix winner Bruce McLaren founded in 1966, has been the most successful in Formula One. That same year McLaren and Amon teamed up to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in 1967 Hulme was Formula One world champion. We thought you might like to add a link on your blog or let any people know who might be interested! http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/trio-at-the-top-2001 On NZ On Screen you can also see a documentary about John Britten : Britten Backyard Visionary (http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/britten-backyard-visionary-1993), and Circuits of Gold - a doco about Ivan Mauger (http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/circuits-of-gold-1987). Thanks for your time! Cheers Brenda Hello there – apologies for posting this in the comments if it’s not appropriate – but I wanted to get in touch.
