20th June 1971: The Downpour That Delivered Glory
from Chequered Past · host Martin Elliot
June 20 has delivered some of the most memorable moments in motorsport history, and this episode dives into three of them. We begin at Zandvoort in 1971, where Jacky Ickx mastered the rain in a commanding drive that reminded the paddock of his brilliance. From there, we turn back the clock to 1904 and the formation of the AIACR — the foundation of today’s FIA — tracing the roots of racing’s global governance. Finally, we revisit the 2004 United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis: a race marked by Ferrari dominance, a landmark podium for Takuma Sato, and a horrifying crash for Ralf Schumacher that raised urgent safety concerns. Three decades, three stories — one unforgettable date. Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
