Remember when motorsport used to be on normal telly? Some MINI prototypes, sorry I mean MG Metros being hammered on this clip from 1983 by the star drivers of the day, not as entertaining as Blomquist in an MG Maestro near the end though!

haha great stuff! Mansell was really quick on the autotest compared to some of the rally drivers - I thought they would have done better at it.

And that Maestro race was brilliant
Motor racing today could learn a lot from that, simple cars, soft suspension, massive roll angles!
