This race was the 41st Australian Grand Prix. Held at Sandown, Melbourne in September 1976, it is Formula 5000 racing at its best. Featuring Max Stewart, Vern Schuppan, John Goss, Kevin Bartlett and John Leffler to name but a few. Leffler went on to win the 1976 Australian Drivers Championship and here in Round 1 drove a credible P3.

Motor racing is an international language.
The good old days, pits down the bottom end and crowds in the stands and up the top. And real race cars !
Was there that day. Was down at "drunks corner" but not drunk. Great days of racing. Thanks for the video.
Boooooooo...lol. 😉
I was there that day. Great memories. From memory, Goss and Schuppan were running Flat Plane crank Repco engines.
Goss yes Vern no,, that was a Chev
Classic duel. I was thinking of flying over to watch this race. It was obviously it would be a small field, and I suspected the crowd in the 'common areas' might be more dangerous than anything on the track, experience of any major sth island, major motor racing meeting or even provincial rugby embankments, was pretty interesting in serious intoxication plus everything, and Melbourne for a 19 year old would obviously have been +++ . Goss and Schuphan are going as hard as European F1 of the period.. Absolutely, maybe not quite Stewart and Ridnt but I dont think Hunt and Lauda would have been as quick.
Found this broadcast on a Philips N1700 videocassette am transferring it as I speak, does this broadcast exist in its entirety?
Great sounding engines! Good stuff thanks for uploading.

Darren Hayward Yes, "Your ears are not deceivng you" LOL - great film, good to see. Thought I heard Will H at times too on commentary
How Sandown has changed. The obvious of turn 1 but the small kink on the back straight was more pronounced,, the Esses are more distinct. Dandenong Rd is far faster, 'The little 'straight' is less straight and the Causeway and final turns are bothentirely different shape
Is number 12 a private Ferrari 312T?
