johnh875 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Nice intro, just a couple of minor points to correct the record, Jack Brabham's Cooper Bristol was front engines, and you have Lex Wexford instead of Davison as winning 4 times with Schumacher.

Incidentally, Jack Brabham sold his Cooper Bristol to help fund his move to the UK, assuming that cars over there would be much more competitive, but regretted that and said his Australian car that he'd spent years developing would have thrashed the ones in Britain.

Looking forward to this weekend's race, it is always interesting to see how it will go with the new regs.

With the 'podium' already mentioned, one of the most prominent memories for me are the wet races in Adelaide, in particular one of the cars being launched by a kerb and flat-spinning into the wall. Not to forget Mansell!
