USA/Canada International
| 1978 Belgian Grand Prix - Opening Laps - (10 min.) Condition (VG+) - The pace lap, and the opening laps of the Belgian Grand Prix as broadcast on live German TV (German narration). |
| 1978 Spanish Grand Prix - Opening Laps - (10 min.) Condition (VG+) - From the same source as the clip above, here we have the opening laps of the 1978 Spanish Grand Prix as broadcast on live German TV (German narration). |
| 1978 Swedish Grand Prix - Highlights - (5 min.) Condition (VG) - Highlights of the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix, these are LIVE excerpts of the race, as broadcast live on German TV (German narration). This would mark the debut of the Brabham BT46B "fan car". The BT46B (driven by Niki Lauda) used a giant fan mounted under the rear wing to create artificial downforce through suction. During this rather uneventful race, Mario Andretti led in his Lotus 79, but his car suffered a mechanical failure. When oil was spilled on the track, the Lauda'a "fan car" seemed to be completely unaffected, and ran around the circuit as though the track was totally dry. Lauda and the "fan car" went on to win by a staggering 34 seconds over 2nd place Riccardo Patrese, and 3rd place Ronnie Peterson. This would be the only race the "fan car" would appear in, as it was deemed illegal by the FIA, and would never race again. Sadly, this would also be the last F1 Grand Prix in Sweden. The deaths of popular Swedish drivers Ronnie Peterson (who crashed at Monza) and Gunnar Nilsson (cancer) caused a loss of F1 interest in Sweden, and funding was pulled. |
| 1978 Dutch Grand Prix - Highlights - (7 min.) Condition (VG) - Highlights of the 1978 Dutch Grand Prix, these are LIVE excerpts of the race, as broadcast on German TV (German narration). Mario Andretti would take the win in his Lotus 79, with Patrick Depailler (also in a Lotus 79) coming in 2nd. The beautiful John Player Special black and gold cars were the class of the field. Lauda and Watson (Brabham BT46's) take 3rd and 4th, over 10 seconds behind. Andretti's win would be the last win by an American F1 driver. |
| 1978 Austrian Grand Prix - Highlights - (40 min.) Condition (VG) - Highlights of the 1978 Austrian Grand Prix, these are LIVE excerpts of the race, as broadcast on German TV (German narration). This was a wild race! With rain threatening, the race started with Team Lotus (Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson) on the front row. Andretti had a bad start, and Peterson would take the lead. Within a few minutes, Andretti would touch wheels with Reutemann, sending Andretti's Lotus into the barriers. Heavy rain began to fall, and on Lap 4, Scheckter would spin out and end up into Andretti's crashed Lotus. Reutemann then spun, and the race was red-flagged. After the downpour, the grid was reset. On the restart, there was another first lap collision involving Patrese. The field came around with Ronnie Peterson in the lead, followed by Depailler and Lauda. Ronnie Peterson would eventually take the win, the final victory of his short career. |
| 1979 Race Of Champions - Brands Hatch - (7 min.) Condition (Excellent) - This is a live broadcast consisting of highlights of the 1979 Race Of Champions at Brands Hatch, England. This was a non-points race, and the field consisted of 7 Formula 1 cars, followed by Aurora class cars. Gilles Villeneuve would take the win, Nelson Piquet would take 2nd, and Mario Andretti was 3rd. Murray Walker on commentary. |
| 1979 Dutch Grand Prix - (10 min.) Condition (Excellent) - This is a live broadcast consisting of highlights of the 1979 Dutch Grand Prix. Alan Jones takes the win, with Jody Scheckter (2nd) and Jacques Laffite (3rd), and Murray Walker on commentary. |
| 1979 U.S. Grand Prix East - Watkins Glen, NY - (10 min.) Condition (Excellent) - This is a live broadcast consisting of highlights of the 1979 U.S. Grand Prix East at Watkins Glen, NY. Murray Walker, and an always entertaining James Hunt, are on commentary. The race started in the rain. With Alan Jones leading, he came into the pits to change over to slicks. An error by Jones occurred when he left the pits too soon, and his crew had not fully attached the right rear wheel. Just after re-entering the race, Jones would lose the wheel, ending his chances of winning the U.S. Grand Prix. The next bit of bad luck came for Scheckter on Lap 48. While running in 2nd place behind Villeneuve, Scheckter's tire separated from the rim! Jacques Villeneuve takes the win, with Rene Arnoux taking 2nd, over 48 seconds behind Villeneuve. This would also be the last F1 race for the great Jackie Ickx. |
