I miss the broadcasts from motor racing, that was like this. The entire race shown in one go. Six cameras to cover the whole lap. And not a single replay during the race. That's the way producers should film racing here in 2019. In modern motorsports broadcasts, the camera angle switches 20 times before the second corner. Including onboard cameras. That's very confusing and not true to the sport. Agree?
Back when Superbikes were 500GP Bikes! But it just wasn't a GP. Back then the Racing 4 Strokes were Formula 1 Bikes in the British Series. Alex George I think was the Factory Honda Main Man. I hope the commentator realised Barry was just playing with Mick and putting on a show for the crowd.
Sheene's suzi was so quick ("he took the baffles out filed the ports !")😎 and his racing the yanks forced him to develop his style. Bit cheeky him dropping off the pace though. Not wanting to lead.
Best days of my life with my Dad at the races, the smell of 2 strock and Westlers burgers. I would give give alot to have a day back then again 😊❤❤❤
Ahhh the marvelous aroma of 2-Stroke Racing fuel !! Brilliant : D

Agree?
Some of the greatest races ever - and 2 strokes which are so brutal.
Pity it's in bluravision.
We miss you Baz. Australia.
Looks cold, snow down by the old Dunlop Bridge
Hail John Newbold and John Williams , great men , greater racers , Fom Peregrine, we will always remember.
Tom Herron too...
Sadly no John Williams, he passed away in August 1978
Love the sound of them 2 stroke twins are them 500 CCs ?
I believe Sheene was riding the RG680cc here. Nice of him to hold back on the throttle for a while. Or was it?

These are 750cc not 500`s
@@derekskinner there were some around 680 CC 2str
@@derekskinner remember F-750 in ThE late 70's
Read Mick Grant's autobiography, races such as these, the top contenders would agree to put on a show and then race for a win over the last laps
