The film documents the 1961 24hr of Le Mans and the 3 Triumph TR4S racing prototypes entered by the company. This was a follow up to a similar but less than successful effort by the company the previous year, which was also documented on film.

Great film of the race as well as the TRSs. My late father was a competition mechanic under Ken Richardson and did all 3 Le Man's. I love Raymond Baxter's voice, great diction, eloquence and correct pronunciation unlike so many dumbed down and slovenly spoken presenters of late. No wonder he was chosen to commentate on the Queen's Coronation and Winston Churchill's funeral. He was a WW2 Spitfire pilot too
