Videos would be nice but it could be something that you saw as a spectator.

I enjoyed watching that

This is mine, also rallycross: 2006 supernationals. It was this race that first got me into motorsport.

oh also love this....first thing in the morning, you can always tell the new people to drag racing, they always stand too close, get a face full of nitro and jump a mile when the engine is hit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU3GPi6BIBk and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_hRJsqugr0

Jacky Ickx's drive to win the 1982 World sportscar title at the Brands Hatch 1000k, simply mesmerising

A great way of wasting 30mins on a Sunday morning, thankyou

I always enjoyed the Andy Rouse / Rob Gravett battles in the BTCC with them both in Sierra Cosworths.

First time I can remember becoming totally obsessed with motorsport.

Love that

Used to love Rallycross in those days complete and utter nutter!!

Wonder what has happened to Will Gollop these days?

Couple of moments stand out which I have been privileged enough to witness.

- Gil de Ferran's last-lap victory on Kenny Brack at the first Rockingham Champ Car race.
- Johan Rajamaki's outright lap record around Mallory Park in the Footwork FA13.
- Lewis's GP2 overtake at Silverstone in 2006 into Becketts.
- This year's Canadian GP. Except for getting wet, that was rubbish.

oh forgot that one!!!...yeh that was awesome!!!!.....also when i went to champcars in 03 at long beach and spa for the first time, they were special!

oh and recently this year at donington, 3 silk cut jags and the c11 racing eachother, oh and the silverstone classic WSM race a couple of years back, seeing a v12 412 ferrari f1 car and 94 williams flying down craners together.....so many nice memories!!

[chevronb37]

Oh, and of course Nick Heidfeld's outright hill record at Goodwood, which still gives me goosebumps to this day.

Watching Derek Daly demonstrate his Ensign F1 car at the annual Phoenix Park races in Dublin back in 1978. It was only a couple of demonstration laps but was the first time I'd ever seen an F1 car in action. It was simply stunning - the noise, the gear changes, the acceleration, the braking.

And the Ensign wasn't even that good a car.

Massa's family celebrating that Felipe had just 'won' the 08 title only to realise Hamilton had just pulled the rug from under them. Brilliant

To cap it off that muppet Ferrari mechanic headbutting a wall in the garage. Classic!

That's was a good moment particularly since because of the problems with the weepers they didn't turn a wheel on the brand new track until late that morning.

To the list of great moments I was lucky enough to see I'd have Hakkinen v Schumacher at Spa in 2000 and Senna at Donnington in 93.

For completely different reasons I'm also very fond of the 2004 Pepsi 400 at Daytona. It was my first NASCAR race and just a couple of hours before the race was due to start the track was hit by a classic Florida summer thunderstorm putting the race in doubt. By the time the rain stopped and they'd got the track dry it was almost 10pm. That meant they were still racing at midnight. Very cool.

[RustySpanner]

Oh and how about Nick Heidfeld setting the all time hill record in a McLaren at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Yes, that was a special moment. Not just for the "agony and ecstasy" for McLaren fans all in the space of one lap, but for wiping the smiles off the faces of all in the Ferrari garage. Wonderful, and unforgettable.
