Grandstand clips (8/11/86)

Roland Ratzenberger and Philippe Favre battle it out for the chequered flag in the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch, the horse racing results are in, Great Britain's rugby league team have been stuffed by Australia and coach Maurice Bamford has some explaining to do, we go round the football grounds as we near full-time, and then it's over to the Vidiprinter as Steve Rider gives us the final scores - all from Saturday, 8th November, 1986's Grandstand.
That Ratzenberger vs Favre duel is really something, and, without spoiling the outcome, the eventual winner takes it by no more than half a car length. Also fighting for position are British drivers Steve Robertson and Pete Rogers, the latter of whom was sadly killed during a race less than a year on from this.
Meanwhile, in the football, the two Manchester clubs are unbelievably rubbish. City register a victory, but it's only their second since February (we're in November, remember), and United take an embarrassing beating in their new manager's first match in charge away to Oxford. He'll obviously never amount to anything.
Huge thanks to Ben for providing this recording.
