won Monaco a record six times,

one more victory than the man

with the derring-do mustache.

Graham hill came

to Monaco in 1966

to defend his

third straight victory.

Graham hill:
It's a tremendous race

and a great one to come and watch,

and if anybody's gonna come and see

a grand prix, this is really the one.

It's such a nice place

to be, anyway.

To come to Monaco

and talk to men

is a waste of time,

so excuse me.

That's when motor racing

was really dangerous,

and sex was safe.

Mario andretti:
Still today,

what defines formula one

is the sense of prestige.

It's an event.

Kings want to be there.

Princess grace of Monaco: For me,

it's a thrill to see an expert at work.

Upon meeting Graham hill,

you like him.

Watching him made me become

more interested in racing

and what these men were doing.

In those days,

hill's fiercest rivals

were also

his closest friends.

( Indistinct remarks

and laughter )

Sir Jackie Stewart:

The intimacy was incredible,

from the racing drivers

to the mechanics

to the wives

and the girlfriends.

The camaraderie

was very deep.

Sir Jackie Stewart:

We went on holidays together.

We lived together.

We traveled together.

Brigitte hill:
You felt

very much part of this family

growing up together.

Motor racing

was just a part of it.

The drivers

formed a trade union,

the grand prix drivers'

association.

The women soon followed suit

with the doghouse club.

Damon hill:
Well,

the doghouse club

is where i was kept growing up with

the wives and girlfriends of drivers.

What do they call them now?

Wags, I think.

Brigitte hill:
Betty brabham

stood up at one dinner,

and she said,

"Jack's in the doghouse."

And they all realized they were all feeling

very much the same way.

Sally swart:
They were always

playing with engines

or something like that,

not paying nearly enough

attention to us.

Bette hill:
The fact that he's going

to work all night on his car,

and then it's going to

break down after two laps.

You have to love this man

to be a good wife

of a racing driver.

Vocalists:

gimme some lovin'

gimme,

gimme some lovin'

gimme some lovin'

brigitte hill:

Wives did the lap scores,

and that would

decide the grids,

because there was no real

sort of official time keepers.

These kind of slightly

romantic memories

that everyone's got

of the whole thing.

So glad you made it

hey, hey

so glad you made it

we just were

a clan to ourselves.

They traveled by caravan,

town to town,

country to country,

for six months straight.

Even the most celebrated

drivers raced

in the lesser

formula two series

in the off weekends

to keep this family circus
