Best thing I have watched in a long time. Such a great era to have competed in, I would have liked to have been part of it. Born in the wrong era!

Classic commentary when the Piper special rolls violently at 9m 50secs. Not to mention the brave cameramen, keep your eyes peeled for the bloke filming in the back of the Mk1 Escort.

Today we have the luxury of a GoPro tethered to the roll cage, and the advent of the 4x4 means we have solid tow cars. When I read Clive Tricky's book he couldn't work out why his towing rig would sometimes end up facing the wrong way. He was towing a Mini with a Mini Traveller!
