the circuit looks a different layout than it was in the 80's, looks like they are going down the old hanger straight and then left into the loop where the pits are now.
I remember watching this at Croft in freezing weather. Arnold Butcher in his mud coloured 7 and suit were always entertaining, as was watching Harry Ratcliffe stuffing his capri into the banking after the "yump"
Great footage. I was probably there (and likely have still got the programme) as I lived very close and tried never to miss a meeting - always **!*dy cold though ! Great cars - even a morris 1300 if I'm not mistaken.
More footage please!! I hope that the BBC and ITV give access to all the old Rallycross recordings one day soon. Real cars with trick bits. 4 wheel drive Capri's and Mini Clubmans. Great to see a Renault 8 Gordini too. There was a Europa with a hairy covered paint job, anyone remember that?

Some of the best vids on you tube by this poster, if you are interested in the 1960s motorsport scene. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment: if there is enought interest, I will redo this footage, which reached here by a VERY lossy route.
