Does anyone know if you can buy (or download) complete grand prix from yesteryear?

Many people usually sell DVDs of old races on eBay. Just make sure you know who you’re dealing with.

As for downloads, there are a couple of sites out there. I won’t name them (as FOM may find them), but if you look around F1 forums, you’ll usually find the links there.

Does anyone know if you can buy (or download) complete grand prix from yesteryear?

Australia 1985 was the first GP I ever saw on TV and it made me an instant F1 fan and a Senna fan straight off the bat. I was fortunate to attend the 1993 Australia GP and see Senna win his last GP (and in fine style too).

Just checked, and that’s not happening, they have however made the 86 and 94 “Grand Prix” highlights programmes available online:

I also think Adelaide is a great track. Very difficult, fast enough, any kind of corner.
I was there also, and it is amazing to pass from the street part and the horse race track. Great place, really.
I still think 1986 final race has been one of the best I ever watched on TV. It was so early in the morning, but had no chances to sleep.

Finally happy to see journeyer’s post on the videos. This makes end to the winter wait, don’t have to tell how hard it was this time around.

Adelaide was actually in the top 3 F1 racing circuits ever used, according to F1 Racing. Singapore wasn’t in this list yet, but even if it was done today, it can’t beat Adelaide yet. I covered that list before the first Singapore GP last year.

The map they show is wrong, the start line has always been in Victoria Park. Watching the video you can see the start/finish is indeed in the Vic Park section.
