I went there with my mate, two up on a 250 superdream, 300 mile round trip, it was amazing. Thank you for posting this, awsome times.

The seven-deep rows on the grid, the push start, the crude nature of the knee sliders and the old, mostly rounded style of front fairing. The less corrupted layout of Silverstone. It's all so different from what comes today. I so dearly miss the two-strokes.

@mikejohnson5900 Жыл бұрын

I love the old Silverstone layout! And miss the 2 strokes as well - all the bikes I grew up with were 2 strokes so I love the special noise they make!

Super! Thanks! Tragically without Jack Middelburg, who won this race in 1981! He crashed horribly with Boet van Dulmen in April 1984 at "The C.C.-Races" in Tolbert/The Netherlands, and died soon later in a hospital in Groningen! That footage is also on KZfaq! I saw this happen back then! Jack Middelburg, Race In Peace/*\✓

Jesus! Mamola's riding style was insane. His outside foot was nowhere near the foot peg. Great quality video for such an old race. I would much rather watch gps from the 80s and early 90s than today's.

At 12:30 of the video, the announcer talks about Freddy Spencer not being able to make this Silverstone event because he had broken his collar bone a week earlier, in a practice crash during the AMA National event at Laguna Seca. I watched Freddy get on the breaks too hard while entering the 'Cork Screw' and he lost the front end. I had just received my AMA Pro Card and it was my first Camel Pro Superbike event and also, my first opportunity to be on the track with Americas best Formula 1 GP riders, Kenny Roberts, Randy Mamola and Fast Freddy. I was rider # 54 and finished 18th in our crash shortened Superbike race. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbJ3gNV71s2uhGQ.html

I remember that crash as my wife was a med worker and helped Freddie cross the track. I ended up with his broken shift pegs as a souvenir!

Look at all those hay bales on the corner coming into the finishing strait , it must have been like hitting a brick wall if you slid into that lot at a hundred miles an hour , These were great days , but the modern safety today is a great improvement ,

@srhendx7 Жыл бұрын

I used to go to the British GP at Silverstone in those days and used to sit in the grandstand on that corner. In 1983 they replaced all the catch fencing with straw bales, and that was the first GP to have nothing but straw bales for protection instead of the catch fencing. I saw a few riders crash there over the years and into the bales, they got up and walked away, even at those speeds. The catch fencing was horrendous for motorcycle racers, several riders were killed hitting the posts over the years, Michele Fruitschi was killed in the 83 French GP after hitting his head at the bottom of the catch fencing post, that was instrumental in riders forcing organisers to get rid of it in favour of straw bales.

Great Ride from Ron Haslam & Barry Sheene !

@RedBud315 2 жыл бұрын

Even the difference in helmet from then and today. I did some club racing at Willow in the 80's and anything above 80 MPH your head was bouncing around. Now with my modern Shoei there is no buffeting at even triple digit speeds. Today Bell has a retro helmet that cost more than some of the newer helmets.

@mikejohnson5900 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for uploading this vid! It's amazing to see the legends racing when they were young on vicious bikes. Also, Ron Haslam's riding style looks relatively modern!

@user-bf3zb6pf2o 3 жыл бұрын

スペンサーの欠場でマモラに４気筒がまわってきたのね。高速コースの旧シルバーストーンで３気筒のハスラムは序盤大健闘だけど最後まで持たなかった。フロントタイヤが垂れちゃったのかな？　ローソンも後半速かったけどマモラのマネージメントとホンダ4気筒に軍配が。。。翌年はレイアウトだけの変更で無敵のNSR500がスペンサーのライディングでチャンピオンを獲得する訳だけど　この84年の時点でエンジンは完成の域に達していたんですね。シーズン全体ではトラブルも多くローソンにチャンピオンを譲る結果となってしまったけど　他のメーカーには出来ないチャレンジをするのがホンダスピリッツ。

Randy was a great rider with out a doubt,Ron was robbed with the machines he rode all through his career,but the Norton years served him well,shame about the '92 crash...Barry was robbed too,shit Suzuki's he was given,put him on one of those v4 Hondas ,or3 cylinder jobs,we would have seen Bazza proper

@kasperkjrsgaard1447 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, Sheene’s career went backworth after 1980. From “crappy” Yamaha’s to breaking his legs and to even more crappy Suzuki’s before retirement. Racing wasn’t easy for him.

This race was Aug. 1984. The last time I saw Kenny on the track was at the AMA National event at Laguna Seca July 1984. Kenny took the F1 class win, Mamola finished 2nd, Mike Baldwin 3rd. Flying Fred Merkel won the SB race..
