Works good for me Steve, can also enlarge view, not full screen but big enough, unlike embedded Youtube videos where I have to click "watch on youtbe" to enlarge to full screen

Thanks Eckart, much appreciated.

Yes 1988, I see they were still referring to the Russians as the Soviet Union as well. I'm not sure if there are any Brits having a go these days, there have been a few in the past. I think RP used to know one of them, Andy Ross, now sadly no longer with us. Found a link to a bit of a write up about...

If you don't watch it all, at least have a look at the graphic of the wheel after the first race and then watch the second race.
Absolutely incredible race.

Just linked to this in Bob's Classic Sidecar page on Facebook but thought I'd add it on here for non - Facebookers

2nd part now on, Brian is in 1st race of this part

Part 1 of England v Australia Sidecar Speedway, Swindon 1989

Brian only appears in the parade in this part, but will be shown racing in later parts.

Hopefully they'll be on later but they are slow upload

In all honesty I just don't know Brian :oops: :oops: It was always said in speedway that it was safer not to have brakes :shock: :shock: The 1000 Grass sidecars run a front brake and the solos used to. Strange thing is I never really looked for the brakes, they are a very high compression engine and...

I'll have to dig mine out the shed, put it back in 1 piece and maybe have a play at Newport Speedway in the winter.
