British 500cc GP - Silverstone 1982

This was not the last race of the 1982 500cc motorcycle racing season.  But, it was one of the major ones.  Kenny Roberts has pole.  But, in qualifying, the late, great Barry Sheene had a huge crash, and broke both legs, which would put him out of action entirely.  Dutch rider Boet van Dulmen was supposed to race.  But, he had mechanical issues with the motorcycle, and had to stay on the sidelines in the pit lane, and watch.
