    This one had a lot of potential. Didn't turn out as great as it could have been but I like it anyway just because of the glimpse into a bit of history.

    It's a seat swap between the late Colin McRae (his WRC Subaru) and Martin Brundle (his Jordan).

    Man I miss Colin, he was one heck of a wheel man.

    Nice video, good find Steve.

    Not specifically F1, but this is as good a place as any. How quickly can you identify the tracks?

    I remember the first time I heard a Matra engine. It was in Long Beach and it was the most amazing sound that resonated off the buildings that surrounded that street course. Awesome to be sure!

    Back in those days depending on the track the winning car used to lap the

    majority of the field.

    That's some fine old footage there. Man with today's F1 cars one forgets how spindly those of GP cars of old were. Oh & that track they were racing on, wow.

    That track sure has character. Looks like a widow maker to me.

    Entertaining commentary during the 1982 French GP. Brit announcer having some tongue-in-cheek 'French-ist' stereotype fun.

    Warning for sensitive types: There's an early bit of NSFW on a French beach. :ihih:

    My gosh, I couldn't have said it better....THAT is an F1 sound....nothing like it anywhere in the world....possibly never to be heard again except on historical documentaries...

    BTW, there is NO "sound of the new motors" :-(

    I remember the car was 1.5 liter but not if it was a V4 or a V6. Anyone

    It looks like Jim Hall on the 2e attached the rear ring directly to the rear hub assemblies. It's level to the ground, not pitched like the body of the car.

    That would also make the down-force unsprung weight. Which may not be a bad thing on a smooth race track. No need to over-spring the car to account for the aero.
