I cant believe i found this, i always remembered the tune and i wanted to hear it again as it gives me great memories of loving formula 1 as a 6 or 7 year old. The first race i ever watched, Italy 1999, loved F1 ever since.
Fantastic you put the texaco intro in there too. This is i think ITV's best intro of the lot, shame they didn't keep that music :( Nice One AlanMcB :)
@pedanticmongrel No Allen was far worse. Legard didn't have his head so far up Hamilton and Buttons arse that you could only see his feet and for that alone Legard is far better.

@Smiffyalltheway: 2000 was my first proper year of watching F1 coverage and this was the best theme tune from ITV.

The BBC intro is shit. It might have The Chain, but the ITV ones were way better overall.

I fucking love this. Best intro ever, closely followed by 2008's.
2009's is alright but it can't compare to those two.

I agree I liked this intro the best. They just got more and more annoying after this. Thank god its going to the BBC and James Allen isn't!
