Back when the cars and drivers had personalities

Some of those cars sure do look hard to handle. Love the centre of gravity!

Ahh, the days when the drivers needed a wheel barrow to carry their weddin' tackle about in. Can't see the modern drivers coping to well with learning all them corners, on their play station. I was born in 1975 so I don't have the pleasure of knowing such times, but the racin' looked good. Nice Vid

Unfortunately, there is no way the 'Ring could be made safe enough to race F1 on. Can you imagine trying to get Massa medical attention if he had crashed at the Karoussel? That's also the reason they shortened Spa, though they made a pretty good job of that except for the last round of changes. I notice the huge difference in size between the front and rear tires, and the clear difference in sound between the engines. I also like the old sounds a bit better than todays 18K V8s.
