Nice work Keke , out of interest do you do this from timing data or video or both? Also you have counted "Reutemann (Williams) on Arnoux (Renault) - P2", when Murray said that "He obviously has a problem" Was he going slow enough for it to be warranted as not an overtake?

Thanks tooncheese. I use every resource available. Galahad has been providing me with 1982 Lap Charts, I have the Full Race videos, and I've recently obtained the 1982 MotorSport race reports from DSJ that can help fill in a lot of gaps.

I have counted all of the overtakes on Arnoux because he was suffering from the same vibration problem for a good bit of the race. He held on to his 3rd position for 4 laps after Reutemann went by, so he didn't slow down that drastically.

 

[FB]

I have a huge pile of Motorsport & Grand Prix International magazines from 1979 onwards Keke so if you want anything drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I can scan them in. I also have the Autocourse annuals from 1978 onwards which have all the lap charts, which you're welcome to copies of if you need them.

As an aside, wasn't it this race that spurred Gordon Murray to look into in race refueling for the Brabhams as Prost's pace after he stopped for new tyres was so fast?

 

[Grizzly]

Great stuff. I love seeing snippets of this period of racing from before i was around.

I have hundreds of hours of on board footage of Senna, Prost, Fangio, Hill, Lauda, Hunt etc that i can only dream of being fortunate enough to see first time round... just something as simple as seeing them reach for the gear lever halfway round Parabolica is something that i don't remember seeing in my lifetime...

[Galahad]

Great to see this up at last Keke, well done

 

[Brogan]

Knowing how long this has taken Keke and how much work was involved, I just want to say a public thank you.

Nice work chap

 

[KekeTheKing]

Thanks guys. I've thoroughly enjoyed going through this 1982 season again and I'm glad I can add another year to the record books.

We've got much better Overtaking Summaries on the way, as the South African director somehow managed to miss nearly all of the most exciting action at Kyalami.
