Would love to have been able to watch motor racing in those days.

With you there Duke!
Though I wonder how many drivers or pit crew had any hearing left at the end of their career, no hearing protection in sight and that noise is immense!

I really enjoyed that Monaco footage Duke63, thanks for sharing it with us.
I have to agree with Kk.: For all that the cars were things of great beauty the drivers must have been destroyed by the time they had completed the 1000 corners. (as well as the hearing those fumes & the (carcinogenic) oil spry in their faces.
That Shell advert is brilliant too Blade.

They've been advertising this year's GP coming up soon...might have to have a gander at it.
These days it seems just like one massive festival that happens to have some racing added on to it
