Thank you ,thank you I so miss those days,Tasman series ,and the non championship races ,oulton park etc Fabulous days ,cars and household name drivers Not quite the same these days,(in my opinion)
Back in the day I used to avidly read the Autosport reports - little elsewas going on at that time of year. Never thought I would actually see footage. Amazing and thanks
I was at the race in Sandown. We were sitting at the slowest part of the circuit, and I still remember with clarity seeing Graham Hill and Jochen Rindt go by. I don't just mean their cars, but their faces.
Peter’s Corner? I was there too. Definitely the best place at the old Sandown Layout to watch any race. Formula V races were often spectacular on the first lap.
Beautiful bit of History.. was at Warick Farm in the wet a Creek Corner... was quite a sigh Jochen Rindt screaming down into the hairpin with a roster tail of spray behind him.. was 14... still a strong memory, was a regular race goer... but bus and train from Newport Beach... used to create fake pit passes and sneak into the pits... burying yourself in the middle of a crowd crossing the tracks... can't imagine getting away with that now in F1
1969 - The first Tasman Series after Racing God Jim Clark - Unmatched Maestro and Greatest Ever - had died on 7th April 1968 in Hockenheim. During the 1968 Tasman Series he drove the Lotus 49 T.
In the 1968 Tasman races, Clark was just cruising, in fact he used the same 2.5 Cosworth in 6 consecutive races. ( 500 miles between rebuilds back in England would be the norm for these engines) The 1969 series excluding Lakeside is run at F1 intensity, and marked the debt of Jochen Ridn't as Lotus team.leader, something savagely contested by his teammate 1968 F1 Graham hill who essentially tried to take Ridn't off the road in every NZ round Ridn't was unknown to the general NZ race audience although fanatics like me and the international media monitored every second of his month in NZ. Only 25,000 attended the GP at Pukekohe and his stay at the so called Levin Travelodge was as unfortunate as the race

Not all modern motor racing is boring, just 90% of it. Supercars has got to be the most boring of all motor racing series that ever existed. They must work hard to make it that boring, because it couldn't happen like that on it sown. All the best events are 8 laps or something so you never get satiated. This is intentional so the boring race gets all the attention fueled by faux hype and faux politics.

@@beagle7622 It was just after the back straight, and a bit downhill, as the cars slowed down for the esses.
Perhaps it was called Peter's Corner?
HD quality! Very Good!

Before these fixed the fence at Sandown, we went under it. I ended up paying 2 dollars for the pit pass.
I was at the rainy Warwick Farm race, being an avid Lotus and Rindt fan. Horrible weather but a great result for me!

I love the relaxed nature of the racing back then. Safety however was not hugely in evidence.
It's easy to look back critically but a single tier of guardrail on the Lakeside straight.
I was at the farm for that very wet race
