Crystal Palace 1971 Saloon Race

[Erik Smith]

This race had a smile on my face the whole time - great little Escort fighting it out with a Camaro! 1.6 liters v 5.7

The Camaro has a "winking turn indicator" on most of the race.

Great video - thanks for posting it.  The RS1600 was quite a race/rally car.

Superb Erik, thanks for posting that. It's just 3 years before I started by Marshalling 'career' at the Silverstone Circuit here in the UK, meeting most of those drivers, and hundreds of others including royalty over nearly 30 years at the circuit.
