Crash and Burn poster

Crash and Burn chronicles the thrilling and turbulent career of Irish racing driver Tommy Byrne, who rose from a rough, working-class background to the cusp of Formula 1 in the 1980s. Directed by Seán Ó Cualáin, the film explores Byrne's undeniable talent and rebellious personality, which set him apart on the track but also clashed with the conservative and elite world of Formula 1. Byrne’s story is filled with highs and lows, from his dominance in lower racing categories to his brief, rocky stint in Formula 1 and subsequent struggles. The documentary combines interviews, archival footage, and personal insights to portray the complexities of Byrne’s character and his “what could have been” legacy in motorsport.

A Champion and a Gentleman: The Official Review Of The 1996 FIA Formula One World Championship poster

Right from the opening round of the 1996 FIA Formula One World Championship in Melbourne, the potential for an extraordinary season was plainly evident. In particular, two Williams-Renault team-mates were quick to display the sort of skill and determination that would keep this contest on the brink to the very end. The rest as they say, is history. As Williams-Renault celebrate their fouth Constructors' Championship, Damon Hill is justly rewarded as the first son of a Formula One World champion to emulate his father's achievement.
