Came across this video on Youtube, 25 minutes of the 1967 German Grand Prix at Nurburgring. The course has changed a little over the years, particularly the condition of the circuit - some may have seen Sabine Schmitz making an amazing job lapping Nurburgring in a Transit van on Top Gear. Drivers include many familiar names that those who followed motor racing in that era will recognise, including Graham Hill, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Denny Hulme, Jackie Icyx, John Surtees etc. It shows how hard the course was on both cars and drivers - and the relative lack of safety in those days. Rather more entertaining IMO than today's F1.

Re: F1 - 1967 German Grand Prix
Thanks, I enjoyed that! Brought back memories of racing Grand Prix Legends round the Ring
Not sure how popular that era of racing would be to the modern fan though. Very much driver vs machine and track rather than driver vs driver. Lots of retirements, mostly huge gaps between the cars by mid-race, few contested passes and next to no side by side racing.
