This is a great piece of nostalgia from the 1970's. To me its more entertaining to watch than the modern racing because the cars had less downforce, (you can see the suspension movement in the cars), the drivers taking different lines in corners, and you tend to see more of the racing anyway , with less alterations to the circuits in aid of health and safety. Talking of which, there wasn't any. Look at the accidents, the fires etc; no wonder Jackie Stewart was was so feverent in promoting it in the sport during the course of his retirement. (I put Stewart as a driver, up with Senna and Fangio- all above Schumacher).

Anyway,enjoy, its about an hour long so grab a drink and put your feet up.

cheers marty, ive had this link ready to watch for a long time but never got round to it.


gotta agree with you, the racing in the 60s and 70s was dangerous and properly dangerous which made the drivers much more brave and heroic! the realities back then were a high chance of death, the chances of death in modern F1 are exponentially lower.... but dont get me started on the current rules!
