Yeh I was there last year mate - awesome, awesome day.
Is it the full GP circuit again? We sat round the back of the track, just fantastic stuff. Martin Stretham (???) was it...? Selby |

I've got an Autosport from '86 somewhere where Piquet was testing at Silverstone, before the other chicane was put in after the bridge. I can't remember the time off hand but it was even quicker than Keke's '85 qualy lap, and he was quoted as saying something to the mechanics like 'If you really wan't me to go for it, I think I could do under a 1m03!' Doesn't take anything away from Keke's lap though, as the FW10 looked much harder to drive fast than the FW11, it had a years less tyre development, it wasn't the fastest car on the '85 grid, and I remember reading it was just starting to drizzle through the last half of Keke's lap?! |

Yup, in fact I recall it finally began to sleet!
Dan. It is the GP circuit for Sunday/Monday. The car is owned by Roger Wills. |

Being a relative newby I hadn't noticed this thread before.
I have ranted like an old man on current GP posts, but to little effect.Nice to see Keke's lap remembered by people - Bernie wouldn't allow that today.Not in keeping with his requirements for public perception blah blah. I have questioned the need for a safety-car when it's raining - it's getting more like the States every day.I recall seeing an old film of the Belgian GP 1966, the one when it monsooned on the back of the track, and JYS vowed to start his safety campaign. The film had an aerial shot of John Surtees in his lump of a 3-litre Ferrari on the Masta (I think) keeping the car in a straight line on the streaming track. In order to achieve that, Big John was twirling his hands and arms like a nutcase, the wheel was a blur. Real car control, no electronic aids, all skill and cohones; the big guy's bike experience coming to the fore. I think Jochen Rindt spun his useless Cooper in several 360degree rotations on various parts of the circuit, but don't recall him asking for the race to be stopped. It has been suggested by a poster that maybe insurance companies' requirements need to be considered - I don't think this would have reared its head "back in the day". |

This is a nice thread not sure why I hadn't seem it before!
I recall watching the 83 RoC on telly in Bristol. Think it was the second or third year I was into F1. Got really excited by Danny the newcomer taking it to the great Keke but was bit disappointed he didn't go on to have a good season, getting trounced by Alboreto! Was great to see Jones trying very hard in the Arrows too! |
