Great videos John, thanks for posting. I enjoyed the TWR Rover vid from 1986. That was probably the best year for Group A touring car racing.

Interesting also to see the Mike Thackwell interview. I read somewhere that Ken Tyrrell rated Thackwell as one of the most talented drivers he'd ever seen. Seems a real shame he didn't realise is true potential.

Steve, can you imagine an interview with a top motor racing driver nowadays, where he is shirtless in the pits and displaying no corporate sponsorship? I don't tink so!

And can you imagine that a top racing driver nowadays would actually have body hair? Again, I don't think so - they are all far too young to have body hair!
