Hi Phil
Brings back memories. I used to have to go to Oxford from Northampton with my job and used to use the back roads past Silverstone circuit to avoid traffic. In those days you could see more of the circuit from the road because the trees were lower than now.
One magic afternoon on the way home , sun shining and ended up sitting by the side of the road watching the two JP cars practicing round the circuit. Started off as fast lapping , then as with most competative things, they ended up dicing with each other. Sat there for about 1/2 hour just enthralled.
In those days, I think Formula 1 meant more to the public as a spectacle. Since then the "elf and safety" thing has kicked in and the racing seems very processional to me . Also the drivers in those days were much more larger than life characters. Or is it just my rose tinted spectacle view back to my younger days ?
Anyway , very nice model
