I live 20 mins away from the track. So amazing to see this footage on an otherwise familiar place!

The colour portion of this film is the Melbourne loop which is still there today Though sadly not part of the circuit anymore! In the late 70s my mate and i fitted speedos to our bicycles, i achieved 48 mph which was very scary!

Fascinating life story. You should be able to find a documentary about Richard Seaman if you look around youtube.

Seaman, not semen. and "Dick" was just the short for Richard. Richard "Dick" Seaman was probably the first driver to start the bizarre habit of Mercedes to hire... british driver.

it was safer , in case of a crash you wanted to be thrown out the car instead of being mangled and burned alive
