World Championship means what it says on the tin

Satirically 40 years in the past I made my first journey exterior Europe to report on a Grand Prix. There had not been a 500cc race exterior Europe for 3 years after we ventured to the 1982 opening spherical in Buenos Aires for the Argentine Grand Prix. It was the identical circuit that had hosted the first-ever Grand Prix exterior Europe in 1961, 12 years after the beginning of the World Championship. I had been to Daytona in Florida a few occasions for the pre-season races, however this was so totally different. Someway Peter Clifford and I persuaded our editor that we must always go per week earlier to experience throughout Argentina to the border of Chile excessive within the Andes in a Che Guevara model bike journey. We returned after an incredible journey to witness a basic Grand Prix. Kenny Roberts combating off the Yamaha of Barry Sheene by 0.67s with Freddie Spencer, spearheading the Honda return to Grand Prix racing, in third place. We had no concept there have been issues between Argentina and Nice Britain. We arrived again in London on the Monday after the race. Two days later battle was declared between the 2 nations over the Falkland Island dispute.
