Here is a review of the video of Grand Prix from
IGN
Quote:

Grand Prix is presented in anamorphic widescreen (2.20:1) preserving the integrity of the original 65mm Super Panavision 70 negative. For a movie that's 40 years old, this transfer looks absolutely gorgeous: grain detail is minimal, color quality is vivid and focus is sharp and clean. Even in the scenes that Bass designed involving split-screen techniques, the separation is beautiful - and in fact, surpasses techniques used today on digital editing technology.

Part of this film's enduring appeal is the integrity of its visual elements - as in, none of this looks older than a few years - and this transfer is bar none one of the best of the year. Anyone showing fealty to more recent releases (including those cut-and-paste Fast and the Furious pictures) will find little to complain about when comparing them to this masterpiece of cinematography and editorial construction.

Do you think Sony would put this much care into a more obscure older title as this? Nether did I...
