Rob29 - GE is Ground Effects where the underside of he car is used to create downforce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_78 https://en.wikipedia...d_effect_(cars)
Re the OP, I actually remember this, I think. JYS says some driver's tyres are going off and he will be looking in the mirror at his rears. James says you are showing your age, cannot see the tyres in current cars, JYS replies that he drove a current car the other day, meanwhile Murray interrupts them both to say the lead has changed! Well that's how I remember it from 1980, if anyone had the time to watch the race I'd love to hear it again!
BTW, I came across this the other day, an F3 race James was in (Crystal Palace), and Murray commentating, 10 years later they would be sharing a mic. (sorry don't know how to embed youtube)
