GT Racing Movies?

I was stoked to see the Opel GT Motorsport book that recently came out, and am going to order mine soon, as I've always loved the Conrero GT look, and I'm glad to know that the GT has a racing heritage. But I was wondering if anyone has ever seen any film footage of the Conrero or Steinmetz GTs racing? I would love to be able to watch some real racing action with the GT.

During my research for the OPEL GT MOVIE (see thread) I was able to locate some footage. Sooo hard to find. I felt like finding a long lost Bugatti...
(It will be included in the GT - film. All of it!)

What specific form of racing would you like to observe a GT participating in? There is quite a bit of action captured on video showing a yellow one mixing it up pretty good on a high bank oval. I haven't found one showing it leading the pack across the finish line, but it has happened three times.
I'd like to see a movie of GTs racing, too. In all the various forms.

However two Mustangs, a Pinto, and a Capri were hospitalized.
One Mustang was euthanized the next morning.
