I loved it. I think this is now Foxhall Stadium, right? Apart from Mr Brundle most of the entrants seem to be local lads (Ipswich, Kesgrave).

Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

Reminds me of the days were you used to go to an old dirt field and watch them wizzing past while you sat on an a bale of straw.

So. 39 years of progress? It wouldn't even be possible with bloody electric cars now. Don't know if it makes me feel sad or angry.
