Can't overtake on a street circuit? Skill issue 😤 Belfast's own John Watson won the Detroit Grand Prix On This Day in 1982, a race that put the aggy in aggregate - bumper cars, a brake fire and a long red flag saw the race run in two parts, with Watson avoiding the chaos to win comfortably from 17th place on the grid. 🏆
 
Impressive? He'd go several better at Long Beach the following year... 👀
