Francois Hesnault had the first on-board camera during a Formula One race for the 1985 German Grand Prix. It wasn't the first on-board camera, there are numerous examples from the 1970s in practice sessions such as Patrick Depailler's masterclass in the rain at Montreal, but this was the first one during a race.

Hesnault was entered by Renault in the Grand Prix specifically to run the camera car and it was the last time a team ran three drivers in one Grand Prix.

 
The best bit was when they casually chatted to the drivers during the race.


Dick Johnson was the best at having a casual chat as he raced against Australia's best Touring Car drivers.
He could also deliver some of the funniest one-liners thanks to his dry sense of humour.
 
I think Lakeside was one of worse tracks to talk to the drivers. :lol:
It's always enjoyable to look back at the races they had there, especially the Group A category
No aero to speak of in comparison to the Supercars, so they moved around so much.
The drivers really earned it in those days.

If you've got a spare hour, it's worth spending it watching the RAC TT from the Goodwood Revival this year:


Call me crazy if you like, but I sit up overnight and watch the Revival.
It's the one event on the calendar I would attend if granted a wish.

This race is not to be missed, and an absolute nail-biter that will have you on the edge of your seat.

There is a lot of great racing over the Revival weekend, but the TT race has easily been the highlight the last few years.

This one was one of the best!
