Action from this unusual end-of-season, made-for-TV event, held at Donington Park. The rallysprint mixes a rally stage with a circuit race, and is contested by a blend of F1 drivers and rally regulars. The 1980 field includes the 1979 and 1980 F1 champions Jody Scheckter and Alan Jones, along with British rally stars Tony Pond and Russell Brookes.

Originally broadcast on BBC Grandstand, with commentary from Murray Walker and, during the race segment, James Hunt. The coverage starts with the rally stage; for the circuit race, held in what are seemingly road-standard Mazda RX-7s, go to 28:37.
