I remember watching this live. What an awesome race between two of the best. It also really heralded the future dominance of the 4 strokes in this class.
Ive seen them both race, Whit was a friendly cheeky lad with a ready smile and could ride the arse off any bike until he fell ill with cancer. Foggy was as hard as rock, cold as ice and a master at his craft. I can remember him blasting past haga and edwards at donington and the hairs stood up on the back of your neck such was his aura.. he is indeed King Carl. Long live the King.
this is one of my fave all time races....earlier in the race they were all over each other constantly passing,sliding and almost crashing...good to watch.
I was 15 when this race took place, and i remember watchin it over and over and wanting an RGV 250 hehe. Please to have found this clip, thanks for uploading!
1.56 "I don't really want to watch this", yes what a stupid thing to say from a commentator ? Anyone who watches this would have loved to have been there watching ? Crazy!
I agree two top blokes&I can't believe Foggy raced the same bike I now own!,Thanks to him&his daughter I once owned a Ducati 998 Matrix Reloaded edition!!.
ma m8ts dad is m8ts wiv carl n ma m8 lives nxt door i meet him all da time he is well swnd he gave ma m8 a helmet n all his old stuff he has sighned all ma motox stuff :):):):)
ye me 2 i ws at me m8's and his dad is a m8 of carls m8, i c him up the chippy wen i was wif me m8 a... he gave me 'is old ducati and all it was well cool mate. (you sound like such a fucking idiot you cunt)
jamie Whittham was the most aggressive rider i know.very late on the brakes. watched him at Knockhill 1997 battling it out with Nail MacKenzie on the Cadbury's Boost Yamaha's...triyng out electronic gear changers for the first time.
Yeah, but i think those are the best racers! Two men, that are equal in the race! Not like stoner on the fast ducati, and rossi on the slow yamaha! That's not fun to watch.. but those two! I Like. :D
Met Whitham at the weekend,top bloke really down to earth,he has seen the post and remembers the race well!Pointed out Steve Ives was out in front until he ran off and that Foggy's bike was faster than his RGV!
I think i was there, we were standing just after the bridge. Excellent race and if I recall both were out later on 750's. I think Whit was on the GSXR then
Good stuff,don't see races like that these days !!! thanx for replying my e-mail so soon, we will have to meet up for a beer soon, Bye for now , Neil.
