I particularly like the atmosphere of it . Putting in the engine oil from a gallon can of esso and slopping in the petrol, going around with the little oil can. Did you notice the state of the helmets! Seeing Graham Hill pushing his broken car in the vain hope they could fix it, can't see one finger doing that. For me, it's what the 7 is about and where the enjoyment is.

I got all nostalgic and remember the sheer joy of a Corgi model arriving at Christmas.  Somehow Racing was better then - a clear high octane mix of Petrol, Testosterone and Bravery.  I miss that but I don't miss 60's music tracks!  Thanks for that it was a real joy to see it again.
