Title: Classic 500cc GP Documentary....
Post by: Hawk on June 04, 2015, 06:31:56 PM
Hi guys....

Just thought I'd let you all know that there is a documentary on TV just past midnight tonight at 12:20am on ITV 4 (if you can get it?): "Grand Prix 500 - The Rainey Days"

Enjoy!  ;D 8)

Easier just to watch it online bud.  Or else I have to strip down TiVo box and get hard drive recording converted to pc and put it on YouTube lol. I'm sweating just thinking of it.

The good news it will be on again in a month or so I'm sure . :D

Yes you are correct Nick. Same programme that was on TV the other night but they called it "GP500: The Rainey Years".

Any one wants a link to these two docs then let me know and I'll send you.  ;)

Lol.... Yeah gets you that way doesn't it!  ;D

I have quite a few old early 80's GP500 races, but unfortunately the quality isn't up to todays standard, but still great to watch Sheene, Roberts, Spencer and the guys battle it out.  ;D

Seems the 70's and 80's GP500 races are very difficult to find, especially quality versions. I think the TV companies scrapped what they had at the time without thought of keeping them for prosterity.  :( >:(

If anyone has copies of these 500GP races of the era then please to let us know!
