1985 Australian Grand Prix photos

Unknown to even racing aficionados, Renault was able to clone Ayrton Senna.  The clone was used for qualifying and the original was used for the actual race.

This weekend's content is going to be a bit F1 heavy.  The centerpiece will be my interview with F1 journalist Joe Saward.

Australia's Bolly Blog posted some extraordinary photos from the inaugural GP in Australia at Adelaide.  The cars were equipped with tiny 1.5 liter units with enough collective turbo boost to wipe out Japan's current energy deficit.
