This is a recording of an "exhibition" race between two of motorsport's all-time greats; Juan Manuel Fangio in a Mercedes W196 GP car and Jack Brabham in one of his own grand prix cars. It was a support race for the 1978 Australian GP at Sandown Park.
Incredible to see (and hear!) two great cars from different eras, piloted by men from different eras, head-to-head out on a track. Enjoy...

Fantastic video. Fangio is an incredible driver. Thanks for sharing!
Great find, thanks;)
I wished i lived in that age :) Awesome sounding cars, awesome all around :)
thanks !!
Great video, thanks for sharing, Jack.
In my opinion Fangio is the greatest driver of all time. Others may win more titles than him, however he not only was a driver but a gentleman too. And imagine trying to control those machines in the 50's.
Pure undiluted greatness.
Fangio was a genius as a racing driver, he took a car with inferior technology to the one Brabham had there and was about to stay with him, that has to take a lot of skill.
