Wearing out a Dunlop

-

YEAR: 1983 // LOCATION: ASSEN

In front of the packed banks around the atmospheri­c Assen circuit, Rob Mcelnea (Suzuki) and Joey Dunlop (Honda) do battle for the 1983 Formula 1 crown. Come the race, it was the Burly Humberside­r who stalked and then pounced on his Dunlopshap­ed prey. Rob was victorious and Joey had to be happy with the fact that he led home Honda team-mates Roger Marshall and Wayne Gardner on Dutch soil.
