One of, if not the classic motorsport film, 'Nine Days in Summer' is the definitive story of the development of an iconic racing car and record-breaking engine.

Design guru Colin Chapman and engine supremo Keith Duckworth came together to produce the now legendary Lotus 49, powered by the fabled Ford DFV, which would go on to become the most successful engine in Formula One history. 

The car went from concept to racetrack in just months and, amazingly, was victorious on four occasions during the 1967 Grand Prix season, including its debut. 

Nine Days in Summer, introduced by motorsport expert Simon Taylor, chronicles this extraordinary achievement in comprehensive detail. It features incredible full-color race action from nine Formula One rounds, along with fascinating footage of Cosworth and Lotus craftsmen painstakingly creating these stunning examples of automotive art.

The film also grants you unprecedented access to Chapman, Duckworth, and legendary drivers Jim Clark and Graham Hill.

Nine Days of Summer, from the Ford Archive Gems series, is the ultimate guide to the creation of a motorsport icon and a milestone in motorsport filmmaking.
