Ahh this is such a good time capsule..so much better edited than today's wec highlights; brilliant commentator & ad hoc pitlane interviewers. Well enjoyed that.
I was lucky enough to have a grandstand seat on the start/finish line on the straight, I have never heard an engine scream like the Jag's unbelievable, and the Jag's were running engines developed from their road going cars incredible. The contrast between the low rumble of the Mercs and the screaming cats. Best race I've ever been to, unfortunately those halcyon days are now gone, so lucky to have watched these magnificent beasts.
This video benefits from being BBC1 Grandstand coverage - this race came a few weeks after Jags won at Le Mans, the Beeb got so much grief for NOT covering that race, they went overboard to cover this one, and got a great race too. We were at both races, epic days when Group C was and still is the very best, most entertaining, most competitive, motorsport, FAR better than boring F1 both then and now.
