Must have been around March/April 1971 - the Formula 1 - South African Grand Prix was held at Kyalami - had to be there!!
I think we got set up at the Kink with the Pits and start area to our left.
First - a sort of "warm-up parade".... I have to get the VW in too!!
Then
a supporting race - these are Ford Capri's BUT!! South African version - called
Capri Peranas they had V8 engines!!
Then the F1 cars came out for warm-ups etc.....
Chris Amon
Denny
Hulme
John Surtees
Emerson Fittipaldi
Pretorius (I think he was the "main-man" behind the Capri Peranas)
Reine
Wisell
Only
a couple of minutes to go before the start...
Racing - and.... Jacky Ickx followed by Hulme
Surtees.... out..??
Hulme
Victory parade - coming round.....
He's
in there someplace....
And
its... Clay Regazzoni - good pole-positioning!!
Follow-on race - looks like a Fiat 124/5 trying to eat up a Mini.
