@Bedhead750 Thanks for the information.

@BaronBoy100 The block shift was normal, Mansell complained when he drove the first semi -auto Ferrari in 1989 that it was taking too long changing down sequentially, and the Ferrari later could be programmed to miss out gears on downchanges. He would also have had to keep the revs up to keep the turbo spooled up.

lol the other pilot looks like driving renault... mégane !

I'm not in the business of offering a critique of Prost's racing skills as I am not a race car driver. Karts only. I would surmise none of us have any business discussing the merits of his talent or comparing to others in this rather impressive display of a simpel practice. Great old cars. Great old track. Prost shows us how it is done. Zandy was a dandy. Too bad it stopped hosting GP's in 1985.

@solunasunrise actually i think he's driving fast. remember braking power and overall grip was very low back then and formulas were quite heavier, maybe tat's why it looks bit slow
-
his still not giving full throttle ...... its a check out of the track ^^

@TheChicowhatever Senna is the best!

@nunslittletoy I noticed the block shifts (something possible with the gearboxes then) but wondered whether it was to protect the engine as those early turbos' were fragile and beside I think the brakes were probably more effective than the gearbox in slowing the car, certainly more robust. I never got to watch F1 turbos so can't comment on whether the block shift was normal or not.

Now THAT was a clinic, ladies and gentlemen... :-)

Great driver but for me the best of all was Ayrton Senna.
