Uploaded on Mar 09, 2009 Adam Duke / Duke Videos Footage Type: Consumer or DVD Restrictions: Only authorised users may downloadRelive one of the greatest 500cc World Championship showdowns of the 1980s for the very first time. Comprehensive, action-packed coverage brings you the full story of the dramatic Spanish Grand Prix from Jerez on Sunday, April 26th, 1987.
This was the first visit to the technical and twisting Jerez circuit for the Grand Prix circus, and with soaring heat the race was set to be a draining affair for the riders. The race action proved as hot as the sweltering temperature, with Wayne Gardner and Eddie Lawson dicing for the lead, Brits Ron Haslam and Niall McKenzie locked in battle for third and the likes of Kevin Schwantz and Randy Mamola contesting a seven-way, race-long fight for fifth.
Superb camera angles bring you all the action as Gardner forces his way past Lawson, Haslam holds off the hard-charging McKenzie and the mid-field melee unfolds in this pulsating race. You share every vital moment as the 500cc machines buck and slide in the hot Spanish sunshine.
There are also interviews with stars like Lawson, Gardner, McKenzie and Mamola to ensure you get the full story of the epic race.
This exceptional record also includes coverage of the 250cc race, which saw Toni Mang throw away an early lead to leave Luca Cadalora and Martin Wimmer to fight it out for victory at Jerez.
