1980 International Procar Championship.

These pictures of the Procars racing in the first round of the 1980 championship could have done with a longer lens!! (hey, what the hell, we all have to learn.) This was one of the few rounds of the Procar Championship ever to have been run outside of support races to Grands Prix.

I cannot remember who won this race, but reading through the programme reveals that, amongst other well know racers, a certain Nigel Mansell was racing in the BMW County Championship support race!
