Re: 1955 Belgian GP,
I've not seen that good a film from that era. I'd really ;like to see at least one GP, I started reading competition Press, road and track, Car and Driver around 1963 and have followed F! Sport Car racing about every year since. Lot of articles about Nuvalari, Fongio, Moss and Farina, the Alfas,Ferraris, Maseratis, Coopers, the pre war races, John Surtees, , Jimmy Clark, Grahram Hill, and Phil Hill, Richey Ginther, Brabham, Dennis Hulme, were the fastest drivers then. But I've not seen that good of a film of Fangio, Moss and Farina from that era. It's really neet they caught them drifting through corners, sawing the wheel, no power steering, Fangio had some muscular arms. That's the last of front engined cars a few years later the first successful rear engined cars. Drivers to day look more like ballet dancers, big guys have a hard time fitting in those tight cars, but they work out and are very athelitic. I've only read about the technic, watching the Mistro at work is a treat. That's the last of front engined cars a few years later the first successful rear engined cars dominated.
I imagine Monaco just isn't a place I would be comfortable at. Monza, Spa would be more to my taste, but I I just happened to be close to Monico--
I quit following F! for a few years after Rint, Mark Donahue, Bandini, Clark ate it. Senna's death was cold water, a freind was taping TV coverage during that time. It was all reading, was very little TV coverage. What little TV coverage I've seen lately was too painful with the anounsers blabbing away about them selves, like the idoit jock doing Football, I can't stand to watch with all the commercails. I'd rather be outside. I follow F1 it on the web now, they have live charts showing the times in three sections of the track, the commintater seems to go to sleep at time. It british site, so al the English drivers are so special, to bad those Finns and Germans A They do a fair job of presention
