1967 Oulton Park Gold Cup Saloons

The Ford Falcon race, much enlivened by the spectacular three-wheeled Cortinas of Graham Hill & Jackie Ickx.
Not many people know there is a small lake in the trees if you go over the Esso Banking. Graham Hill will remember that.

Fantastic footage,and it is definitely Shell corner,can't believe how close you could get to the action in those days!!

@craig50 Actually it WAS Esso Bend, but between then and now it has been renamed as Shell Corner.

Sorry to nitpick: these are Ford Falcons, not Galaxies. Great footage!

[DrBGW]

Great, not nitpicking at all! Accuracy improved. I've corrected it. Thanks!

Great nostalgic film - I was there at Cascades.

Wasn't Jim Clark in the other Cortina-Lotus?

[DrBGW]

There's been considerable discussion about that: I remembered it as being Jim Clark, but the experts convinced me it was Jackie Ickx. Looking closely at the original movie, they are right :(

Was it as spectacular at Cascades?

Heh. That remark might be a little too witty for YouTube.
