Great stuff!!!!! Real motor racing. Front engines. Country roads. People allowed to walk around everywhere. Legendary drivers.

I was so born in the wrong era. But there are so many others I'd like to have been a part of.

Not sure about the front engine part though.

Thanks for sharing that Brian, most enjoyable :)

Great to see a young Stirling Moss giving it his all against Fangio, amazingly he still wears that helmet today when on the track.

I find it hard to believe in this day and age that to watch this type of race you have to resort to you tube. You'd think that there would be a television show or a documentary series that would be informative and give credit where credit is due. It seems every two generations or so things are forgotten in this industry.

All we get are bloody cooking lessons or no talent shows :mad:
