Oz GP Classic F1 on BBC

[Sam.F]

Worth watching the 1990 race just for the sound of the Ferrari engine on Mansell's onboard footage

[eps]

Yep, excellent

They're on Freeview (tonight and tomorrow night) as well as the iPlayer

aww memories and homesickness.. how funny is the kerbing at Brewery Bend in Adelaide, a high speed jump for anybody that loses it there. like some kind of sick joke by the organisers. Imagine a kerb like that these days? No way.

[eps]

Murray quotes... "They're disappearing like ice cubes in the desert..." ???! "The mice are in the machinery.."

[Fire99]

Excellent stuff. Good days!!

[Fire99]

I was even on the edge of my seat for the last couple of laps of the 1990 race and I already knew the result.

When you say Freeview, do you mean the red button?

Happy Days!! 1990. One worth following..

[snorkel sucker]

watched this last night and - wow! have to agree with the sound of the ferrari, far and above a totally different sound and absolutely fantastic!

comedy moment with that kerbing too - i laughed out loud at the sheer audacity of it!

you cant help but get more excited just by listening to Murray Walker either!

wonder which one they will show next??

Yep, red button..

They've already indicated which ones they will show next, on the BBC website, as Malaysia is back to back with Australia.

Some brilliant moments by Senna, over the kerbs!!

Can't help thinking that it really was "better" back then...

Caught some of this last night.

Hmmm - wasn't 1990 good

Don't anyone accuse me of wearing Rose Tinted Glasses when I sometimes eulogise about how older F1 was much better than the present version. We can still see, right now, what GP racing in 1990 was like and how good it was.

I didn't like the way they deliberately left out James Allen's commentary on the 03 race. Sounded all wrong with Brundle's in race snippets and Dullards voice over

Aye!

Anyone notice how the action often seemed to follow Nige wherever he was on the track? First chasing Senna, then backed-up into Piquet/Berger/Prost, then chasing Berger then chasing Piquet... This only one race of many where the entertainment seems to follow him around.

Or maybe that's all a bit rose tinted!

Totally agree. My rose coloured specs are tucked away in the drawer. Not every race was perfect but the fundamentals were there to allow good racing and boy did we get some rather often.

Even by '95 you could see the cars were starting to get a bit leaden.

[FourWheelDrift]

Odd they missed out 2 of the biggest incidents of the Australian GP, Mansell's blow out in 1986 and the 1994 clash between Hill & Schumacher.

I'd rather watch them than the bore-fest of 1995 (Coulthard's pit entry excluded).

[zac510]

If I recall they showed the '86 and '94 highlights last year.

I wasn't even born for the 1985 or 1990 GP's... but those videos make me wish I was. So much more exciting than modern F1.
