This short trailer for ‘The Breakfast Club (Group 5)’ could be straight from the early 1970s – there’s funky music, slick editing and grainy, highly saturated footage of Porsche 917s, Ferrari 512s and Lola T70s both stationary and howling around the historic racetrack. The Group 5 demonstration was undoubtedly the highlight of the 74th Members’ Meeting, transporting many spectators back in time to the golden era of sports car racing. We wonder if the full film will evoke the same sense of nostalgia?
