The battle between Japanese giants Honda and Yamaha was renewed in grand style at the Austrian Grand Prix at the Salzburgring. After winning the 500cc World Championship in 1986, Yamaha had been struggling to match the pace of the Hondas. This circuit calls for plenty of brute power coupled with good handling on the long sweeping curves and the riders - Wayne Gardner, Eddie Lawson, Ron Haslam, Rob McElnea etc. - needed massive courage. This was one of the most exciting and closely fought 500 GPs for many years. Sit back and enjoy 55 minutes of scintillating action!
