Quote from Sporting Minis:
"RIP Dickie Davies who died last weekend aged 94. Dickie Davies didn’t just bring us the football and the wrestling he brought us all the great motorsport on the tellybox via World Of Sport every Saturday from 1968 to 1985 including rallycross, bike racing, rallying, banger racing and genius ideas like this one where members of the public raced each other round Ipswich oval in their own “ordinary production cars straight from the car park”. What could possibly go wrong!??"
(Thanks to Pete of Sporting Minis above for reminding me of this 1970's 'ITV World Of Sport' event....I don't think it could happen today). 
Ipswich Oval - Production car race 1975 - members of the public and their cars straight from the car park....
