When men raced men on the limit from 1971-1979, James Hunt what a guy pace looks and all the girls 1976 my favourite i was 5 sat in front of the tele wouldnt miss a race. My mam was really worried but the old man secretly was really proud!!!!

If you like these cars. They are at Brands Hatch in early July racing against each other on the full grand prix circuit. I didnt make last year but went the two years before and JPS Lotus, the 6 wheel car and loads of other ones will be there. Completely open pit and paddock plus touring cars of the same era. Not very crowded either.

Great day out.

I can remember being by a pit garage when one of the F1 cars started up. What a noise and great racing. Will see if I have any pics when I get home later.

I can remember religiously going to brands with me mate in the mid to late 70s and will never forget the first time i saw that tyrrel being driven by jackie stewart..we always used to stand near the first corner from the grid..and on some occasions had to run backwards as it was a good crash spot..FFS..Feels like yesterday..I will definately be going..
