Thruxton's Easter Monday International Formula Two meeting was televised from the mid seventies to the demise of the Formula Two championship in 1984 . From memory the Formula Two , Formula Three and Touring Car races were televised ( I didn't see them as I was always at the meeting ) .
Thruxton also held a non-championship Formula Three meeting in November which was shown on Grandstand in between horse races . Ayrton Senna made a winning F3 race debut in the 1982 race .
I think the Formula Three championship was shown on Grandstand ( highlights the week after ) from the mid eighties through to the early nineties when Touring Car racing started to take over .
Also in the mid eighties Grandstand showed a winter series Formula Ford 2000 championship . However where you might find these races I'm not sure , but there were some Special GT races from the Thruxton November meetings on YouTube .
