Grand Prix

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

featuring motor racing's Formula One World Championship
The Marlboro British Grand Prix from Silverstone
Highlights of the 1981 season's ninth championship race on the world's fastest Grand Prix circuit -the 2.9-mile track deep in the Northamptonshire countryside. With average practice speeds approaching 150 mph, Clay Regaz zoni's 1979 lap record now looks almost pedestrian and certain to be bettered today -but by whom? Will thousands of British motor-sport fans witness another home victory here just four years after James Hunt 's triumph in 1977? After third and second places in Spain and France, Ulsterman JOHN WATSON in his McLaren is running into peak form but CARLOS REUTE -MANN still heads the drivers' table with 37 points from Brazilian NELSON PIQUET 11 behind and ALAN JONES in third place with 24.
