We know that the shot was taken by a camera attached to a big Mercedes saloon . But i think the sound is edited from a formula one ferrari recording in the 1966 film Grand Prix . They've done a good job of matching the sound to the images .

I was a kid of 11 years old in 1963 and had just developed an interest in motorcycle racing.The return of the the Gileras fascinated me especially as they had beaten Mike Hailwood in an earlier grand prix.But the loss of Derek Minter to injury had severely dented their title aspirations.......as Geoff Duke remarked Minter was the only rider in the world who raced as fast and hard as Mike Hailwood.Phil Read was signed up but Geoff Duke did not have confidence in him.John Hartle was magnificent in this TT race and he lapped at over 105 mph.What a smooth and stylish rider he was!The gearbox trouble that Hailwood suffered late in the race meant that he resorted to changing gear by hand according to the 'Motor Cycle' magazine!I was lucky enough to visit the IOM in 1964 to see the great Mike Hailwood and also in 1966, and 67.Great days and great memories.

I had forgotten that I rode a 125. It also had a Mugen cylinder. It had a monocoque chassis and breathed in a lot of hot air. The Scitsu tacho never worked and I had no idea when to change gear because it was, as they say, flat as a fart for power. Glad it finished 10 laps. Those races between Buster and Trevor Manley were epic.

Wow. This takes me back. Jim Airey at Liverpool, where I watched the 1981 Australasian Final from the hill on the third bend at the end of a two-month backpacking speedway (solos) tour of Australia when I was in my youth. That night I saw my all-time hero Ivan Mauger score his final 15pt maximum in a world championship event. I returned (from England) in 1996, for the final two nights of speedway at THE Sydney Showground (has there ever been a more magical name for a venue?), having not been able to spectate there in 81 as it no longer staged regular meetings (although I did explore every bit of the track and stadium). Those two meetings at the Royale in 96 remain among the favourites in my lifetime of watching speedway around the world, not so much for the racing, but for the atmosphere and the historic significance. As one of the Sydney papers put it after the final meeting, ''next week would have been too late.'' Like many, I walked the track after the final meeting and grabbed a bagful of shale, which I have had on display in a jar back in England ever since! Wonderful memories of what is, sadly, a dying sport. No one even seems to have arranged a special meeting to mark the 100th anniversary of West Maitland later this year, which says it all really.

That commentator was Barry Woods (was it?) who became a commentator knowing little about bike racing and Sheene taught him all about it and he actually became ok at it. He’d repetitively say “it’s like a 125 race Barry!” which cracked us up. He seems to have disappeared now too. Sheene was a great commentator as well. He gave excellent insight and would give opinion on riders. Checca he called Charlie Chucka because he fell off regularly. Miss him so much compared to the talking rabbits we have to suffer today.

Best were still to come. Gary McCoy was a pure 2 stroke rider. His Red Bull Yamaha sliding, going to the 16 inch wheel on Dunlops, that was the last of the wild cowboy era imo. It's much more corporate these days if that is the right word. And of course Stoner. Ant West was also a great rider too, who never reached his full potential.
