I recall the Surtees F5000 car being sponsored by Durex - what that had to do with motor racing - answers on a postcard I believe it was the first race televised, where the leading car - which led from start to finish, was never shown on TV - how the BBC has changed!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
