Was there that day and it is still the best race I have ever attended. I recall both Gulf cars having black tyre marks down their flanks where Pedro & Jo rubbed wheels. I also recall Barry Smiths Lola T70 pirouetting on a stream running across the track in front of the grandstand on completion of the first lap having started on 2 wet and 2 dry tyres! Also remember Herbie Mueller in a Ferrari 512 punting a Chevron out of the way at paddock. Unfortunately I was also at Brands when Jo Siffert was killed in his BRM.
Ooh, did I enjoy that race although it was raining cats and dogs. A day off to Brands changed a bit of our weekly routine at the Chelsea college of Aeronautical & Automobile Engineering! Did I study overthere? Why don't you ask my former classmate Tony Dron, who I saw in his very first race, competing in a FF1600 against James Hunt at Brands club circuit.
Simply the best!! Our Pedro Rodriguez!
For me, this was the golden age of sports car racing.
For me too!

I was there too, and it was the ONLY race I ever attended: I just happened to be in England for business! The good old days...

That's what you call real driving.

When racing drivers were real men..no halo required.
I wonder if John Wyer would've survived in today's over-regulated,and very political racing world.
