I love watching how the cars are much more "alive" than modern cars. You can see them dipping and squatting under braking and acceleration, and rising and falling on their suspension due to bumps and dips in the track surface - and of course they slide and twitch far more.
How the marshalls dealt with Henri Pescarolo's car stuck in the middle of the track was a bit scary.

My first full GP- ie practice (no 'qually' then , thank you ) and race. Especially remember Revson's M19 getting very sideways in Clearways and being corrected in a heartbea,sun glinting on the sublime black and gold Lotus 72 and the spine tingling howl of the Ickx and Merzario Ferrari 312s. Listening to Ickx change down was sheer poetry - he was a heel and toe-r of Olympic standards. No paddle shift bks .
Happy days- all done on a student grant too- bus to London, bus to Brands, sleep in a field, eat burger, smoke JPS and about a fiver to get in. In those days you could wander where you wanted in the paddock too and I remember literally bumping in to John Surtees in deep conversation with Graham Hill. F1 wasn't full of hysterical fan boys then - so no big deal , no selfies and similar crap, you all felt part of the same show .
