...were on the light, whippet-fast bikes from Japan that had been sweeping "baby" races all over the world. The Japanese alone fielded three teams, each with its own uniforms (orange for Honda, blue for Suzuki, grey for Yamaha), its own smartly drilled pit crew, its own stable of daredevil riders. Honda's Jim Redman, 31, a Southern Rhodesian, stole the show: he averaged 95.6 m.p.h. to win the Lightweight race, came back two days later to win the Junior race as well-averaging 94.9 m.p.h. despite pelting rain and fog.

Hill, 33, is a mustachioed daredevil who switched from motorcycles to cars, got his first driver's license only ten years ago, and was-until this week- known as "the other Hill" to distinguish him from the U.S.'s Phil Hill, the 1961 Grand Prix champion. In South Africa, Hill whipped his spanking new British-built B.R.M. around the windswept East London track at speeds up to 145 m.p.h., won the 196.8-mile race by 1 min. Scotland...
