Video - Old 80's RX-7 Racing

Found a video and put it on my server. It's in the early 80's with Allan Moffat and another.
Not the greatest, old, short. But it shows some racing and some PP sounds.

its less than 5megs and its just some racing history that I thought you guys might like

Thanks for the video Max7. It is nice to see old school racing. I never seen a Rx7 race during the 80's.

Glad everyone likes it I was on a website in thier root files directory downloading funny vids they had and this was on there under a wierd name.
When I watched it I went "wow, this is cool. I must share"
Sadly there are no more vids with RX-7's

I remember watching Moffat's PP cars run, they were fast but unreliable he did however win one of the Australian Touring Car Championships in it. Great find Max. The first car however is not a Moffat team car but Terry Sheil a privateer entry. These cars were running in the Australian Touring Car Championship around 1982 under international Group C rules. The rotary entries were eventually eliminated by the conversion to Group A rules around 1987. The other derivers in the later race are Peter Brock (white/red Commodore 5.0) 10 times Bathurst winner (equal to Indy 500) and Dick Johnston (blue Ford Falcon 5.8) both legends in Aussie touring car classes.
