The Pete Aaron helmet in Grand Prix was actually Chris Amon's.  Since Mike Spence's Lotus 33 was one of the stand ins for Aaron's Yamura during filming of the real races in 1966, he wore Amon's helmet.  Confusing isn't it.

but it is a little more complicated, because Amon decided to adopt the Pete Aaron helmet, after he have seen the movie preparation.Helmet wasn 't an original Amon design and drawing.

Thanks again Irridux, one small issue. The season ini contains Monza10k, on the same day as the other Italian GP. Should I just delete it?

Hi tooncheesef1,
the Monza10k was included in the original Mod for reppresent the fictional race of the Grand Prix Movie.
Why delete it? It's a nice addon.

Irridux

Great! I thought it was an error  

[Brian Speake]

Just caught up with this one, many thanks irridux I really like the historically correct seasons made lately.  

Does anyone have historically correct track changes apart from Zandvoort & Mexico ?.

the Monza10k is a lot of fun ! So Mike Spence wore Pete Aaron/Chris Amon's
helmet in the real 1966 Italian GP.Here it looks like Tim Randolph (Phil Hill) is
