Need any other reasons why the 70's was simply more exciting?

This is 1971 OK....

The Siffert - Bell Porsche 917. During the race Siffert's fastest LAP, THAT'S LAP was 162.09 MPH. This was the fastest sports car race ever held (though never quoted a 312 Ferrari actually a 163mph lap a couple of years later!)

for some reason i had you down as being in your 20s :confused:

thinking back, i had in my mind you'd done a motorsport design related degree not too long ago. Or is that my mind playing tricks ?


I wish i was in my 20's :D

Actually thinking about it, no i dont!

What would Formula One be like if there was unlimited development but there was a pool of money that was distributed equally amongst the teams? Like say £250 million a season per team (10 teams say?)

I know it's a daft question but I often wonder what amazing things we would see, or would there end up being just 1 type of supercar that everyone ends up developing?
