Technical Williams 1981 - Gentlemen, Lift Your Skirts (Documentary Video)

[KekeTheKing]

I just came across this video that looks at the Williams team during winter testing after sliding skirts were banned for 1981. I decided to have a quick look, and 45 minutes later, after it was over, I knew that I had to share it with our community. I know there are several old-school Williams fans that will enjoy it immensely.

Here is Part 1 -

Part 2

For those that don't have the time to watch the whole video, there's a great exchange at the very end of Part 2 (22:07), where Alan Jones suggests some sort of suspension for the seat, after running a few laps with an unsprung suspension setup, and Frank tells him to sit on his wallet. (After telling him that it wasn't a bad idea)

Oh...just settling down to watch and Part 1 seems to have disappeared.

Sorry about that G. Looks like the account has been disabled, as the Oz overtaking video has also disappeared. I'll get that sorted.

 

[Galahad]

No rush. I suppose I've waited 30 years to see it!

 

[KekeTheKing]

Should be good to go now.

...and?

At the ripe old age of 15 I thought it was brilliant.

Final time I'll upload this. Apologies to anyone that has been trying to watch Part 1.
