F1 Fanatic

I don’t think an F1 car would be that much faster than a P1. Even though F1 engines are more reliable than they used to be, an F1 probably couldn’t could cope with 24 hours of consecutive racing without some […]

Dan Gurney – Eagle – Spa 1967
John Watson – Penske – Österreichring 1976
Alan Jones – Shadow – Österreichring 1977
