The only vid I know of showing this race. The first of the last GPs I saw at The Glen. The Lotus 79 gets lots of votes as one of the most beautiful F1 cars of all time, but that year's Ferrari 312T was gorgeous as well.
Of course it was a mixed feeling of welcoming home our newly crowned WDC, but it was also sad to see Peterson's seat taken by Jarier...
Being born and raised in Watkins Glen really gives me an appreciation for these old F1 videos. Thanks for uploading!

First GP I ever attended. Yes, I remember the bog. People who didn't see it can't believe the mayhem.

@nobusan84 Yes I do like the livery of Renault. But I rather take the livery of the JPS Lotus cars.

Anyone remember the Bog? I think the bog people burned a school bus that year!

No need to apologize for the quality. It's amazing that any footage survives. Nice find!

I was a Camera Director (more like a "spotter") at that race.
Good race, challenged by some late race rain.
