Videos- Zs racing in Japan 1971, 73

Love this stuff. Cool in period racing highlights, newsreel style, from Fuji Speedway:

Also, earlier season races from 70 and 71 with Hakosuka and Fairlady Roadster action as well as Zs (prior to the homologation of the ZGs seen in the first later video):

The YouTube videos are ripped from a Japanese DVD release (about 10 years ago) from a company called 'M3 Entertainment'. These ones were part of a 2 DVD set covering Japanese Grand Prix meetings and support races. There's a total of 123 minutes of racing on there:

Old thread resurrection warning! In case anyone stumbles across this again there is some fantastic Fairlady Z action in the second video starting at 16:05. The accompanying jazz soundtrack is great - real product of its time.

Great Z racing. Besides the Jazz I think the engine sound is added too?

Zs have a distinctive sound and they sound like 4 cylinder cars to me.
