I spoke to Gentleman Jim Richards recently and mentioned you guys and he was very appreciative of your work in preserving and sharing this wonderful content
Thanks Kenny, we are humbled.. Jim is one of the major reasons why we do this, he's not called "Gentleman Jim" for nothing.. a great man who always had the time for minions like me, as most of them did from that era.. again thanks for your comment Tim
I think the current commentary team can learn something from this telecast, ie, you really don't have to talk continuously, its ok to take a break and not say anything at all.
You're dead right Darryl. My local F1 telecast, not in Oz, added a female to the 2 guys and she won't shut the fuck up, even when the drivers are talking over the radio to the engineers, which I think is a sin for a commentator, and now the 2 guys who weren't too bad before, feel they need to keep up with her.
When you see photo's of the cars in books or on the internet, the Bluebird looks like a bigger car than it really is. But when you see it next to Dick's XE Falcon you can really see the size difference between the two cars. The Nissan and Mazda's really were the lightweights of the Group C's last main contenders.
Richards is blocking that's why fury got so far away soon as Johnson passed Richards and opened up a big gap strait away Wich says the falcon is the fastest and best car driver combination hence why Johnson won the chamionship
Hi, I'm a student filmmaker from Brisbane. I'm currently making a short documentary about Lakeside Raceway, and I'd like to use parts of this video in the film. Who might I need to contact and how might I contact them to discuss getting permission to use this footage?
