That was brilliant, thank you
Otto Orban
Wow, that was great. Thank you for sharing. More like that if you could because the history insights are rare. And I wonder was anyone you know -the-Race team- there? Thank you again.

What a wild ride, the buses of old folks fleeing the city was my favorite
Jurre Hindriks
Thanks for this brilliant watch. It shows, while being a long way off the superslick billion dollar show F1 is today, that even then it required a good and professional organization and a lot of hard work to get an event like this to succeed, especially on a street circuit.
James Proudfoot

Well that was a cool half hour thanks. Reminded me of the Clive James Vegas Grand Prix film
