Great to see this.
I was only a few months old at the time, I was born near Sandown & lived my whole life and still do,near Sandown.
I just wish there was more racing there.
It was great to see what the course looked like back 32 years ago.
I'd love to race in some sort of category.Does anyone know how to get a race, in ANY category?
It's a life long dream for me to race cars & I'd love to do it a Sandown.
I can even hear the cars from my home!!! Love the sound.
I wonder why F1 didn't go there?

@vlgroupa No it is not the same car.

Isn't that Edmonson Alfetta, the same car that Tony Riciardello still races these days??? I think it is

Does anyone have the bikes? Sadly they no longer run @ Sandown
Gricey held the BMW back because it had as much or more power than those V8's in front but the handling of the car was, as Grice himself described "something frightful". The chassis apparently used to twist under acceleration . Edmonson's Alfetta with its Chev V8 would win the title in 1980 and 81. He raced it until mid-1984. It was still highly competitive but Edmonson couldn't afford to run it so put it up for sale.
Great stuff, thanks! By any chance, do you have heat 1 ???

@ozhearse unfortunately not. It was part of the Sandown 2 + 4 meeting coverage which featured 3 bike races, a formula 2 race and this.
