There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Loved the F5000 era, been scanning my way through many Tasman Cup rounds that were run under the Formula.
Actually, Aussies being Aussies, it was decided that 'F5000' needed to be tweaked to become 'ANF1', so we had pushrod production derived 5.0L engines, 3.0L OHC production engines and full blown 2.0L racing engines.
REPCO and Chevrolet were the mainstay of the big boys (Fords were rubbish) and the only 3.0L car I ever came across was an F1 Brabham powered by a Porsche 930, while Merv Wagot's brilliant alloy 2.0L and assorted Ford BDA and FVA fours slugged out the small class.
Australian GP 1975 here, no apologies for the scratchy negatives, they've been 'in transit' for decades!
Actually IIRC this is from 1972, Chris Amon struggling with the appalling Lotus 70.
