I was 13 in '76 . I remember watching this going on right in front of my eyes on the telly . 3 years later I was leaving school . My parents asked me what I wanted to do . I said I want to be a racing driver . My mother said , don't be ridiculous , you must get a proper job . I hadn't got James 's big balls to argue with my mother , it just wasn't done in those days . But later on in life I did eventually get to race
Every late 70's junior school boy admired James Hunt, Barry Sheene and Nikki Lauda. Barry and Nikki had balls of steel, both fought back from awful accidents- PROPER blokes. James was glamourous, charming, and very quick witted. LEGENDS.
Thanks a Lot for uploading such contents. Well done! I guess, it might have been such characters and incidents that causes the 70ties (and also the 50ties and 60ties) as such iconic ages. That has still such an impact on our pop culture until today. I was about 3 years old ,in 1976. And I just realized, how deep the Culture of the 70ties influenced me visually and emotionally, and defined my taste and my personality. You should create a account, wich shows up more of this legends of these ages.
Thanks...not my documentary though....you're right though loads of great contrasting personalitys in that age who made sport and music fun to watch because they were real. I've watched this so many times and it's still fun to watch. Cheers!

I'm surprised this didn't say anything about the incident at the 1997 Australian Grand Prix when Gerhard Berger and Barry Sheene were accused of trying to make a "sex sandwich" of a 19 year old named Melanie Hilzinger.
