Loving the Health & Safety back then, a slightly raised grass verge to put the spectators on is about as technical as it gets!

Love the stiff upper lift!

that's a fantastic video - great to see period footage, both of the circuit and of the cars - amazing to think how suspension design and tyres have come on since!

fair play to hanging the arse end out for that long at that speed!

 

[ukaskew]

No Esses or Bobbies back then either, so they would have been absolutely flying into Tower and Camp, and apparently Old Paddock (barely noticeable as a bend now) was a challenge and a half as well.

Superb, there are some videos in car on the Combe forum circa 1998 just before the chicanes went in and old Paddock looks awesome !

The last (and only time) ive driven combe was in 1998 before the chicanes!

Love the sideways action around the bends bit of real driving going on there.
