As you will remember, the 1977 Austrian Grand Prix was held under ....eeerrr...."special" circumstances with a very limited field, due to the tragic events that took place in the 350cc race that day.

You are amazing. Thanks man!!! I actually knew Max pretty well. He was killed in a car crash in 1995.

For what it's worth, there's an amateur video of the 350cc race that weekend here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkSQ1gJA_Ls

Not seen it posted here before. Be warned, it does have footage of the accident.

The emergency response was a joke back then. Thanks god for all the improvements over the years.

A bit of googling brought the following links
