I just saw a movie where one of chaps bought a Ferrari for 100 quid ("last year's grand prix winner") and raced it at Phillip Island. It was a great footage, very exciting. This was 1964, and there were Jaguars, Porsche, Mercedes gullwings and other ultra-classic racers, and in the an eye-popping crash a car ran into another at speed and burst into flames. I was just a bit surprised they didn't show the water, but on closer view it was there, but I think the director tried to keep it toned out. The track for the most part looked like it was in the middle of a desert.

wasn't that the one where the top half of the world had just had a nuclear war,& the crew of
an american sub was in australia.& in the end they all chose to go back to america.i think it was from here to eternity.in phil irving's biography it mentions about the filming of the race scenes,& the fun that was had by all the
drivers tear-arsing round phillip island AND being paid for it.bit like the english racing driver who was supplying some cars for a film,& who brought his father along to watch.he then negotiated a fee for his 'mechanic's time,& split the money with his father.
