Video of Phil Hill's Last Race

While saddened by the news of Phil Hill's death, we nonetheless take joy in recounting great moments from his storied career. Perhaps one of Hill's lesser known victories was his last--when he joined Mike Spence for a victory at the BOAC 500k at Brands Hatch in 1967. The pair drove a Chaparral 2F to a victory and this British docu-film does a nice job of capturing the essence of it all.

We have lost one of the great ones.

Too see the veteran race so well under the "old" style of racing was marvellous. Thanks for letting an oldtimer like me see this great nostalgia.

It was aweful news to hear that Phil has passed away. He will be always be remembered. Drivers are not made like the oldtimers anymore. I was there at that race in 1967. I was stationed in england from 1966 - 1968. I also attend a race at Silverstone raceway. I remember Phil's last race well.
