Some nice stuff in there. Must admit, the 71 Aus gp interests me greatly!

[group C]

That's great news any idea what time their on i presume about 11pm like last time?

[awawaw]

im hoping they will unearth some more sandown 400's and atcc races, like lakeside 81.

Sorry forgot that bit, it is advertised as 10:45pm for all :)

Did the ABC telecast the 1981 ATCC finale? Of course we know footage exists of it, as it is shown on the Brock and Johnson tribute video's, but i've never found the source.

Actually it would be good to know what rounds were and weren't telecast, and by whom, prior to 1983 when there was put in place an actual TV deal for the entire series, not just individual races.

[Goodwrench3]

Channel 7 telecast Lakeside '81.
Late Night Legends is a great show, and as you say, lots more Sandown enduro's etc are eagerly anticipated!

just a reminder...it's on tonight .....:-)

I thought the touring cars at Warwick Farm last night were brilliant! I haven't watched all of it yet but, will definitely have a session once I've got all of this weeks shows. I'd forgotten how much of a handful they must have been, particularly the GT's and then to have a bit of rain, what a blast! :D

[sleepy]

yes they certainly had to drive them then...todays slicks wouldnt last long sliding around the corners smoking the rear tyres ....

[clubbie1]

Was anything actually shown on Monday night the 27th??/ According to my hard drive it wasnt on.

[Pedro]

They replayed the 1959 & 1960 Bathurst 100 races plus the 1970 australian grand prix from warwick farm.

[GSXR1]

I managed to get last night's no worries, but forgot all about it on Monday night:( ...luckily it's one of the ones to be repeated :cool:

[BATHURSTFAN]

I take these are the same shows that were on a few months ago?

[davnar]

Certainly NOT, all new events, heaps of F5000, Sports Sedans, Production cars, 3 Litre cars, Touring Cars........

Shame on you if you missed any of it!!!

My DVD recorder has been doing overtime......

[SmartyMarty]

To get this you need a digital top box, but do you need a digital tv?

You need either...but not both...

A digital set-top box converts the digital signal to analogue for your old TV.

A digital TV uses the digital signal directly.

Of course, due to the electronic companies wanting to cash-in, you need a set-top box for each analogue TV:rolleyes:

Cheers

You can also get ABC2 on Austar.

How good is the footage.

Just little things such as paning shots around the pits show a treasure trove of memories.

[BATHURSTFAN]

Does anyone have a list of what has been broadcast to date?

If people keep giving ABC good feedback about these races then they will keep them coming.

[HRT 1-2]

There is a program guide on the web site that seems to cover the whole season, click here http://abc.net.au/sport/legends/week15.htm , down the bottom in green!

A point of note with the Wednesday night touring cars at Warwick Farm was Dicky in the Zupps Torana!
