They showed the footage of that '89 British GP on the Saturday night at Farleigh last year in the big marquee and Leisky, Thorpe, Jobe, Shane King etc all stood around watching while having a few ales with the crowd.. it was pretty cool :)

No !! but perhaps the Evert,Goeber,Ward,Johnson crew + a few Poms-not real knowledgable about the riders from that era...though they do look familer.
Couldn't even check anyones backside names-all going toooo fast !!

Here is a quiz Smed ran awhile ago,got some good results info in it for those interested.
