The destruction of the wonderful sane, beautiful and poetic 1.5 liter formula was so completely idiotic and pointless, it convinced me of the very real stupidity of race organizers and rules makers from that era forward. They are no smarter today.
I have volumes of B&W snapshots of each of these cars and drivers, racing programs signed by the best of them, and memories of handshakes from many of them as a breathless, awestruck teen. Like all teens I fantasized designing & building my own F-1 car, which I would drive to the Championship, of course! My room was cluttered with cherished parts of old race cars (usually crashed). You know the syndrome! What's the name of the opening/closing music, please?
Please, please, PLEASE bring this great show back! I used to plan my Saturdays around watching this show. I was a car-crazy teenager during these 'golden years', and each of these racers' names and faces were magic to me. I spent all my allowance and earnings at every GP course I could attend. Hill in the BRM was my hero, but I loved each of them. I sadly watched them all die, one by one, over the years. As a kid, I thought no cars would ever be faster than 1960s F-1. These are all my heroes!
haha, unbelievable, standing sooo close to the track.
