Great fuss surrounded the classic parades at Brands Hatch, emptying most of the top team’s garages while crews strained to get a better look.
Earplugs were in use.
The sight, sound and smell of priceless historic race machinery went down well. The two highlights? The comically noisy and frighteningly expensive Honda 250-6 and the uber-cool Giacomo Agostini on his exquisite factory MV Agusta triple.
Ago’ has not forgotten how to ride and how to magnetise every woman in the paddock area.
