Graham Hill testing the "Lotus 49" Formula One Car in 1967

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 as 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.
