On channel 10 they just showed a summary of the three races held at adelade this year with gpl era F1 cars. Some very nice shots to see and hear these cars in action. Also some really great in car footage of Jack Brabham giveing a McLaren a whirls, sadly as with all in car shots it didnt last long enough. Hopefully there will be a video of this even released with longer footage and it was also mentioned that the organisers hope to do it again next year with even better organisation and more cars! -ilmore

Guys, I was there. If you ever get the chance to go and see these cars in action, do it. The Loti, Ferrari, BRM sounded awesome. During the event you were allowed into the pit area for photo's, etc. For GPL fans, for cars further back in the field: No 11 was the BRM H16 (1966) No 23 was a Brabham BT23A (1967) No 6 was a Ferrari 312/V12 (1969). Jack Brabham was driving No 19 - a 1968 Mclaren M5A BRM V12. peter
As a matter of interest, that Brabham is not an true F1 car, but a 2.5 litre version that was run in the Tasman series of the era. Saw it run at the Geelong Speed Trials, owned by the late Bib Stilwell.

Whoever said that the rules of the "english" language always made sense. Shame really. :-( Mind you here am I getting on my high horse and I can't even get 2 sentences correct. The word after "Anywhere" should be "else"... doh! -- Peter Ives
.....and the opposite of "disgruntled" is "gruntled"?
