The record book finally reads: Nigel Mansell - World Champion. But the sweet taste of victory has not come easy.
In the high octane world that is Formula One motor racing, no driver has shown more determination or made more personal and financial sacrifices that Nigel Mansell O.B.E.
Nigell's first eleven years in F1 were a prelude to the challenge ahead, when the Mansell-Williams-Elf-Renault partnership reaped their true rewards in 1992 with an awesome display of motor racing par excellence.
This superb Elf film profiles the highs and lows of Nigel's 1991 GP year, from the early season frustrations with mechanical problems to the late season charge when all the variables - driver, engineers and fuel technicians - came good in a formidable display of racecraft that was the springboard for Mansell's world title.
Nigel himself provides illuminating insight into the single minded dedication that he has viven to racing throughout his career, and the motivation that keeps him running at the highest level during the demanding season.
Also in this video: Goin' for Pole. A short action-packed tribute to Mansell and the other kings of Grand Prix which captures the supreme drama of qualifying for pole position. Senna, Alesi, Patrese pushing everything to the limit; sparks flying; wheels in the air; awesome in-car with Senna at Monaco; and of course the one who goes for pole every time - Nigel Mansell. Don't miss it!
