The new 3-litre formula and the surprise withdrawal of engine manufacturer Coventry Climax threw the Britsh teams into chaos for the start of the 1966 season. Only one team would be prepared having signed with a relatively unknown engine maufacturer from halfway across the world at the end of 1965. With the debut of a big name team, and perhaps one of the worst performing engines in F1 history, heroics by Graham Hill at Spa, and the filming of a Hollywood movie, this episode is not to be missed.
