Datsun racing, vintage footage?

Awesome videos! Look how skinny everyone was in 1969! The slip angles through the corners were phenomenal. Tire and suspension technology has certainly changed.

16th Nine Hour Endurance Race at Kyalami, 3rd November 1973. Filmed on 8mm cine (silent). Cars to watch out for: 1 - Porsche 903/3. Reinhold Jost / Herbert Muller - finished 1st 2 - Lola T282 Ford. Jean-Louis Lafosse / Reine Wissel 3 - Porsche Carrera RSR. Martin Birrane / Guy Tunmer - finished 10th 4 - BMW 3.0 CSL. Hans-Joachim Stuck / Jackie Ickx - finished 7th 5 - Gulf Mirage Ford. Derek Bell / James Hunt (rare sports car appearance!) - finished 2nd 6 - Gulf Mirage Ford. Mike Hailwood / Hugh de Fierland 9 - Chevron B26 Ford. Ian Scheckter / John Watson - finished 5th 12 - Pantera Ford. Mario Casoni / Gero - finished 8th 16 - Datsun 240Z. Arnold Chatz / Geoff Mortimer - finished 6th 27 - Ford Capri. Alain Lavoipierre / Brian Cook 28 - BMW 2002 TI. Coenraad Spamer / Carlheinz Peters 29 - Alfa Romeo GTV. Len Booysen / John Gibb About 4 minutes into the clip, watch for a great battle for the lead, over several consecutive laps, between Jost / Muller and Scheckter / Watson. This great battle sadly ends when the Chevron runs into mechanical trouble (you can just see a puff of smoke), and the Porsche eventually goes on to win.

Missing from those results is the no.15 car of Kunimitsu TAKAHASHI and Kenji TOHIRA - a Nissan 'works' 240ZG ( 240ZR ), running in Group 5 - which came in 4th Overall.

BGM: I've mentioned to you before that you really need to quote your sources, otherwise it looks like you put the cine film up on YouTube, and you wrote the text underneath it.

Have a look-see at these photo gems I found in cyberspace. Scroll to the year appropriate galleries to see the Datsuns. I love the photo of Paul Newman in Oldsmobile colors.
