500cc 1982 Buenos Aires Highlights - Part 1/2

This is Part 1 of 2 from (I think) ITV's coverage of the 1982 coverage of the 500cc Argentinian Grand Prix from Buenos Aires. Watch the classic racing with guys like Sheene, Roberts and Spencer in their prime.

Watched this live on TV at the time so its been that long since I've seen this, many many thanks for posting!

If you have any more 82/83 races I'd ask you to post them too please, and if you're ever in London over a weekend I'll buy you a few beers!

I've got a few more from 82 and 83, so I'll post them up once I've done Imola 2002 Race 2

The argentinian race was helded just four days prior to the beginning of the Falklands/Malvinas war.

I first caught a glimpse of this race on a cafe TV. At the time ITV hadn't listed this race in their schedule so I hadn't set my vcr. 25 years later I've finally seen this race in its entirety. I can't put into words just how important a race it was for me to see. It showed clearly to me that Kenny Roberts V4 Yamaha had miles more power than Barry Sheene's Square 4. Absolutely brilliant - thanks so much for making my day!
