Time Between, an extraordinary glimpse into the lives of four of the greatest racers of their generation away from the track. The fly-on-the-wall documentary follows Graham Hill, Bruce McLaren, Innes Ireland and Mike Hailwood for 13 days from the end of the 1964 French Grand Prix at Rouen to the start of the British GP at Brands Hatch. Rare black-and-white footage shows these four greats away from the track, attending business meetings, pursuing their own interests and even filling the downtime between races with some more racing!
McLaren works on his cars, Ireland tours the highlands in an off-road vehicle, Hill travels back to France for a hair-raising GT race while Mike ‘The Bike’ goes back to his first love and competes at the Belgian motorcycle Grand Prix - and wins! The incredible on-board footage of Hailwood riding the MV Agusta is simply stunning.
In European Grand Prix 1964 we are treated to all the action from the fabulous July race meeting at the Brands Hatch circuit. Although designated the European GP, this was also the British Grand Prix, and exceptional colour footage brings us action from practice and the thrilling race itself.
The line-up of drivers reads like a who’s who of Grand Prix legends - Jim Clark, Graham Hill, John Surtees, Jack Brabham, Dan Gurney and more. Wonderful camerawork shows the close dices throughout the field and the tremendous battle between Clark’s Lotus-Climax and the BRM of Hill for victory. In addition, Hill gives us a fascinating insight into the preparations of driver and team as we eavesdrop on a briefing between he and BRM’s Tony Rudd.

I still have a photograph dating back to 1961 with Mike and myself standing next to each other at the British Grand Prix. Gone are the days when an ordinary 16 years old spectator could get so close to such a great champion.
1961... I was born in '61.
Dad is 80 and talks about Hailwood, Ivy, Redman and Agostini with a twinkle in his eye.
Still rides weekly on U.S. 129 ( Tail of the Dragon)
Mike the Bike. This never gets old
The greatest British bike racer ever!!!
Yes, he was the best and a true gentleman.
I love the way he's so modest and talks about riding a bike in such quiet gentle way......The Man was an INCREDIBLE rider. Talent, Bravery, Supreme Skill....Brilliant!!
I was hoping someone would mention what a nice bloke he was.
Nobby Clarke the famous mechanic who spannered for many of the greats always considered Mike his favourite. Main reason: Mike would never blame others or the machines for his but take the responsibility. Great man taken too soon.
Just came back from Austin MotoGP 2018 where Marquez won by 6+ seconds, so my 2-wheel standards are running pretty high tonight. Yet I stopped what I was doing and gaped at the screen for 2 minutes and 22 seconds. humble, virtuosic, graceful, balls of steel. Check out his eyes, like some strange calm animal-man hybrid. what a fuckkin legend, and awesome footage and voiceover.
I met Mike at Brands Hatch in 1967 . he signed autographs and chatted to fans , a true gentleman and a great rider.
Mike Hailwood brilliant racer saw him at Oulton Park great Win again he was hearly a lap in front of the other riders God Bless Mike
I think Hailwood was the most naturally gifted rider ever in any class 125-500 and for me GOAT always had the very best of machinery and used it to its full potential. Like Surtees was able to adapt to be a very capable F1 driver
That's what made Hailwood so good, just a relaxed ride for him, no stress. Great footage...
Mike the Bike on the Francorchamps old track, 14 kilometers. Great Time, great circuit, great vidéo, and great guy of course ! I think I Can die now...😉
Amazing!...the camera work was incredible for that era, hats off to whoever came up with those cool shots!...and to bravery of all those riders who wore puddin basin helmets! 👏🏻🌟🏁
For me, he was the greatest rider ever. Each will have their own but for me it's Hailwood.
Amazing looks like no padding in the leathers either. I am a big Rossi fan but Mike is the greatest
"Mike the Bike" Master !
When I was 14 in 1964 my old man said to me: That Mike Hailwood seems to be getting a name for himself doesn't he. Little did we know what a great rider he would turn out to be.
mike the bike
Legendary rider and circuit. Pure bravery.
One of the changes since Mikes time is today's GP riders induce rear wheel skids on pavement.. many greats come out of the tradition of dirt track racing and Moto racing that allows them to control that.. tire tech has also improved Immensely..hats off to Hailwood as one of the greatest riders of all time!
Flat trackers like k.roberts etc.introduced backing it into corners to scrub off speed.a nitetime halfmiie prepared clay track had more traction than tarmac,could go in very deep n square th corner.daytime mile would get a blue gròove,mor slippery.europe was riding more proper until then.great photography.saw mike win at branshatch late 60s reed n ivy wheeling down th straight on screaming 2strokes.all those guys so quick,sumthng 2c. i wont forget.r.i.p.master hailwood
Mr Michael Hailwood, master of all masters bar none.
What a lovely smooth fluid riding style the great man had. A joy to behold, God bless him.
Those were the days when Mike turned up at the track with bikes for every class and would ride in 125, 250, 350, and 500cc classes, "Kings of Oxford" was the Co name on the trucks.
I saw Mike Hailwood at oulton park back in the day......while leading he came off and got back on push started the bike and won the race
I recall going to Oulton Park as a 16 year old for the very first time to see that round of the 1976 Transatlantic Trophy.
I remember being astounded, when leafing through the raceday program, to find that amonst all the 2-stroke Yamaha and Suzuki held lap records, the 250cc (or was it 350cc?) lap record was STILL held by Mike Hailwood on a 4-stroke Honda from several years earlier (1966, 1967 or 1968?).
Later I read a UA-cam comment from someone who had witnessed Mike fall off whilst leading on the Honda 6, get overtaken, then restart to set an amazing lap record to retake the lead and win. I wonder if that was the same lap record that still stood in 1976...?
Fantastic that,Mike looks so very calm on the bike. Brilliant stuff well done Duke for putting this up.i remember my older brothers saying when they where growing up,they thought all motorcycles where called Geoff Duke's.!
Although those racing roads look smooth as glass, note how bouncy Hailwood is on the course. Not that that bothers Hailwood, one of the immortals of road racing.
Thanks for all your lovely comments. Keep it safe all.
are you his son????
@@sucukluyumurta9104 yes.
@@davehailwood852 your dad was a legend. you should be proud 💪💪💪
@@sucukluyumurta9104 Thank you very much. Such a cool video clip, makes it look easy!
@@davehailwood852 it surely isn't. yesterday i fell off of my bike while going with around 20 kph 😂 your dad and other racers go with more than 200 kph without falling. no need to even mention their lean angle.
Legend .... That track has changed so much for the better.
Amazing footage and amazing rider
Beautifull scenes.
Mike the greatest
This is brilliant footage of Mike Hailwood...the on board camera brill
Amazing really he won with what sounded like his 4 cylinder MV running on one cylinder, lol.
Great filming, must have been ahead of themselves filming this..even changing gears..very cool..wonder what speeds Mike made it to here
mike hailwood the best ever
What a sound!!!!
you have to remember back in the day the likes of hailwood,redman Agostini,reead,ivy would ride in two or three races a day and at a time when a bad accident was a real threat
great i found this i can say I been on a bike with MIKE . MV agusta .
incroyable ces images, d'une netteté digne des caméras de maintenant, la couleur en moins. Merci Duke Vidéo !
Does anyone know how this film was shot? I would have thought a 16mm camera mounted on the tank, would have affected the c of g. What about looking over his shoulder? A great film, thanks for putting it on! One for the archive!
Prodigieux Mike !
He is the man!
Amazing footage!!! How did they film it then?
Nice GoPro footage for 1964. :) I like the best the camera view over the shoulder.
great clip!!
En los años 50 a 60 conocí las competiciones en Zaragoza a Hailwoor y no tenía competencia por qué no tenían 4 cilindros ninguna motocicleta. (Sólo sé limitaba aceleración o revoluciones y frenada )
Magnificent !!
Great stuff ! hard to film... One thing, the Union Jack on the helmet is wrong, the diagonal lines are centered in the whites.... (...and I'm not English...) ;-)
It's interesting to hear the remark on sliding., while 30 years later Rossi was spinning to rear wheel up to sling shot himself out of the corners...
And given the fact that in his book "The Art of Mototcycle Racing" Hailwood talks about drifting the motorcycle out of corners, and that he was known for occasionally doing this, including one anecdote I have seen from a spectator at Stowe Corner at Silverstone who describes Hailwood in a "two wheel drift" on the Ducati in 1978 as he tried to catch the faster 4 cylinder machines. It seems that in 1964 he just didn't like the way cars did it. You also have to allow for the tremendous changes in race tyre technology over '30 years'.
How was the onboard footage filmed with the equipment used in the day? Looking at the normal footage there doesn’t appear to be any camera equipment attached to the bike?
Brilliant piece of film, Mike in my opinion was the greatest motorcycle racer of all time 😎
Buen video
Muy bueno 🏁👍🏁
Saludos desde Talca en Chile
Mike the Bike shows how to do it, The motorcycles then were just as fast as today's bikes but had drum brakes that stopped working when hot, suspension with no pre-load or anything else, frames that twisted out of shape, his helmet tells you everything, stadium helmets cost £5 and everyone had one,
The on-bike in-race video almost looks like a relaxing Sunday ride compared to the unbelievable speeds modern bikes run.
Dave M
That wasn't "in race".
Cameras were much larger in those days. He could not have raced with the cameras of the day mounted all over his bike, nor even have circulated at race speeds I suspect.
Modern race bike speeds are not "unbelievable". They are made possible by modern technology - not the least of which are the "rider aids" that stop him from applying too mych power or too much braking. No such luxuries in Hailwood's day - it was all down to the rider's skill and courage on race tracks where riders faced (and often met) death in every race.
Dave M Those tires looked like rubber bands I wonder if today's riders could keep the bikes upright
ALTRO CHE AGOSTINI IL VERO FENOMENO ERA MIKE THE BIKE AGOSTINI HA SEMPRE VINTO PERCHÉ AVEVA LA MOTO MIGLIORE E IN ALCUNI ANNI CORREVA PRATICAMENTE DA SOLO TUTTO IL RESTO IN BAL DE FA BUI COME DICEVA IL MIO AMICO RUDY
GoPro in 60's XD
オールージュとバスストップシケインが今と全く変わってないwww
MVアグスタはジャコモ・アゴスチーニのイメージだったわ。
❤❤❤❤❤
Hailwood could ride round on a butchers bike and still beat every other bugger. Taken far too early....
Mike should never have switched to cars - he was our greatest ever motor sportsman and now pretty much all he's remembered for is crashing on his way to a chip shop. So so bloody unfair.
How many world titles, I wonder, had he not done so?
Possibly the sport's greatest rider, lost to it at the age of only 27. He was just getting going!
P.S. I think if you asked most people, they would say they remember him for that astounding return to motorcycle racing 11 years later.
@@eventcone Yes, dead right !
Poor poor Mike, thinking about him still, after all these years, makes me emotional.
@@ysgol3 Me too.
You seen the 1978 F1 race from Mallory Park? He seems head and shoulders above everyone else in that race.

go pro
No stupid leg dangle under braking for the master.
Where did u get this video...😲
how the hell they make a gopro like footage back in the 60's?
16mm sound cameras..
Learn some film history..
Kiddies...
Where is camera
le continental circus c'était autre chose, ils risquaient leur vie tout les jours, Mike the Bike en a fait malheureusement la démonstration
Mike a été tue dans un accident de voiture: il était a l'arrêt et a été écrasé par un camion ( sa fille est aussi decedee lors de l'accident).
look so funny..

Balls the size of planets made of solid tungsten steel.
Love him! But it's all about the bike not the rider in the old days
How would you know? Please explain and give credible references not plucked from your rear end.
vale
Rather the reverse! It was all down to skill in those days. No rider aids like today.
eventcone I think vale is referring to the days when Gileras and MVs often raced against lesser machines like Manx Nortons.
Coltnz1
There's truth in that. But also in the fact that Gilera and MV made sure they had the world's best riders on their team.
Hailwoid was also known for his wins against strong opposition. The Gileras during their comeback years and the 250 V4 Yamahas and against the MV when he rode for Honda. Only the Honda's lack of reliability prevented him winning the 500cc title in those years.
Not to mention his wins on the Ducati during his own comeback in 1978.
True. Hailwood had the fastest bikes.
But, in saying that, staying upright & staying alive on those early dangerous tracks was a feat in itself many sadly didnt manage 👌
Honda 6 cylindres 250 cc
No gloves?!
He was wearing gloves.
It wasn’t bravery wearing a puddin basin lid at the time ,full face didn’t exist, and puddin were Prefered choice for most ,over jet helmets
so dangerous!!
He was killed by a truck making a U-turn in front of his Jaguar on the way to get some fish and chips with his daughter. This was several years after his retirement. His most serious accident was in car racing and also he was a hero after pulling another driver out of a burning car in F1. All motor racing is dangerous and life has it's own dangers. Do you often catastrophise and use tired old cliched generalisation?
