Do any other members of the forum remember the Transatlantic Match Races of the 70s when a young Kenny Roberts, Yvon Duhamel, Art Baumann, Stevie Baker and co came over for Easter. The good Friday meeting was at Brands Hatch, then Sunday at Mallory Park and Monday at Oulton Park if I remember correctly.

Sometimes it would be red hot and other years it could be snowing! I will try and dig out some photos to post when I find my "horror bag" of piccies from those days.
 
I was at Brands Hatch, standing at Clearways! Great memories!
I remember watching Freddie Spencer on TV drifting round Donington - brilliant....
 
Good Lord, that brings back some memories... obligatory viewing! Love to see them again.
 
You bet, Oulton park was our local race track till we up's sticks and headed west, we used to have season passes for many years, even managed to sneak onto the track a couple of times, long before track days were a thing, great memories
