I live in the Us. Does the BBC show 60s & 70s F1 reruns? BBC America does not show F1 reruns. But we are now getting the full version of Top Gear. The British version of Top Gear is the best. The US version is so lame it needs a wheel chair.

You may find this thread interesting. http://forums.autosp...w...=983&hl=BBC

I fancy there was another useful discussion on the same topic but I'm afraid I have been unable to unearth it.

Short answer is no, as almost all of it is long gone. However, ESPN Classic do show some 70s F1 here, some of it being the BBC highlights which went out on "Wheelbase" (predecessor of "Top Gear"): the rest is the Brunswick compilations which are available on DVD. There is a surprising amount on YouTube, but not much with English commentary.
