I was a young boy in Finland. We have so many great drivers like Saaarinen and Länsivuori. Thank you.

Que de bons souvenirs.....................

You can just catch a glimpse of Kim Newcombe and his unique Konig on the front row of the grid. In the wide shot you can see he doesn't get a very good start.
-
Kim Newcombe, a privateer riding on a home-made Konig special fitted with a modified 500cc two-stroke outboard-motor engine, was running 2nd in the championship when he sadly crashed and died in a non-championship race at Silverstone. After practice he actually requested that hay-bales be installed on the very corner where he was to die, but the arrogant Silverstone organisers thought it unnecessary.

this looks fast even by todays standards.

Great push-start footage, super video!

First of all : many thanks for publishing this vid. I was sitting on "block C" that time keeping the fingers crossed for Phil Read and MV Agusta till they went blue...
Nothing against the fast fin Saarinen- he was a truely great rider, but the MVs sound was much better than the japs screaming twostrokes.

Wonderful nostalgia!
Have you seen somewhere a similar scene from *1973* in which Agostini rides past the camera on a RD350, while someone else is being interviewed in the pits, maybe at Monza? 99% certain I have seen this but cannot find it anymore :-(

Saarinen is the father of the knee down, hanging off style that is still in use today in roadracing. Tragic, tragic day when he died.

If anyone want to see the start of last race of Jarno going on youtube: "sfide aspettando valentino rossi parte 4".
I remember wery well that day fronting the TV when Renzo Pasolini and Jarno Saarinen died.
