    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.

      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

    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.

    I believe Sheene was riding the RG680cc here. Nice of him to hold back on the throttle for a while. Or was it?
