The opening scenes are interesting, beach racing was something I never realised they had in Tasmania...
I guess it's around Sandy Bay, but it could be many places not too far from Hobart. The crunched Cooper is at one of the airfield circuits they used in the mid-fifties, Valleyfield was one of them, while the dirt track I don't know about either.
There are scenes from Sandown. Most would identify the minute and a half or so from 11:40 on, but there's another bit around 6:12 to 6:26.
Neat stuff, but it's a shame the cameraman didn't follow cars for a whole lap to show what the circuit looks like. You can do that at Baskerville, with those scenes of race starts from the rear being from a spot where it was possible.
