You should of really pointed out that it'll be a documentary of between 1968 and 1982.

This is a good thing. Before this detail came up it did sound like epic failure. Following the footsteps of Grand Prix and Le Mans?

Which weren't that bad

Probably not the same project, but Ron Howard is making a film about 1976 season, centering around Lauda and Hunt, with screenwriter Peter Morgan (e.g. Frost/Nixon). Rumours say relatively unknown Daniel Bruhl is Lauda and Chris Hemsworth is Hunt. Sounds pretty good, actually really good.

ps. Michael Mann is working on a racing movie too. Interesting coincidence, considering that it has been more than 40 years since the last batch of proper racing movies (Grand Prix, Le Mans).

There's supposed to be a Hunt movie as well, isn't there? (In addition to the one about the Lauda/Hunt rivalry)

Also, has anyone heard anything about that 30's grand prix TV series being done by the Wachowski siblings? Heard about it last year and not a thing since.

[EDIT] Maybe not TV series, but short run televised series about the era, and maybe not the Wachowskis...

I wouldn't be surprised if this never sees the light of day now that the much higher profile project is going ahead.
