This Pic taken from the Australian GP book ,it was 1980 at Calder raceway in Victoria Nov16th.
He qualified 8th out of a field of 20 cars (15 F5000) .(2 f1 cars)and formula pacific made up the rest.
He was lapped 2 twice and nearly took out 2 place finisher Bruno Giacomelli in the Alfa Romeo179 around half distance, the winner Alan Jones in the Williams FW07. Elfin MR8 Chevorlet. It was the same car that Larry Perkins drove the year before at Wanneroo Park WA.

"Drove" is a somewhat optimistic description of what Larry did in the 1979 Australian Grand Prix...

I’ve read that the recent Pironi biography is to be avoided - can someone recommend an English language alternative?
