What kind of moron would use their daily for motorsport? :oops:

Haha it looks fun though. It seems that people cared a little less about potentially wrecking their cars back then too.

In Mustang, no helmet, probably not even belt, wearing casual shirt and all, show that to this day health and safety and they probably will cease to exists because of shock :lol:

Bloody awesome. Loved the comment "well if they crash, it's their funeral" BWA HA HA!!!

And yeah, no yellow flag or anything like that to remove a massive chevy. H&R nowadays would have a fit!

I believe you have missed one, blue Anglia that spins out, you can clearly see driver wearing a helmet and I think that I did saw rollcage on some.

I think that safety is tad overrated, they seemed to be just fine, also you can still ride motorcycle at same speed as a car and motorcycles don't have NCAP stars, afaik, so image we are given is perhaps not quite realistic from level of safety that will allow reasonable small amount of deaths :lol:

the blue one is an escort, number 3 as he says, and the black and green one is an ascona, just shows the ascona when he says that the escort moves to 2nd place
