totally agreeit's a shame that these LEGENDARY racetracks-Nurburgring,Spa-francorchamps and Monza(the pre-1967 version with it's infamous banked section,not the now-current circuit)-aren't up to their original glory even the original Nordschleife(northern loop)section isn't being used by the f%@*@ng current F1 management board anymore,so as not to destroy their hi-tech machines

If you ever go to Spa you must check out the original circuit - anyone who raced on it is a hero in my book. These guys really earned their money. Although the new Spa is quite a good circuit, the recent modifications to bring it up to F1 standards, such as increasing the run-offs and chopping down lots trees has robbed the track of it's character and now has nothing in common with the awesome original version.

The cars didnt make 5g turns, but the drivers still did make errors, like all humans are prone to do. And what a potentially devastating price they had to pay for those mistakes. Thats why those guys were heroes.

No armco, no runoff, no nancyboy racing.What a circuit - what an era.

Those cars didn't make 5g turns either.

I'm Belgian and went to spa last year.What a difference now with the old days.Those guys have more courage than those who drive a f1 car today.

The greatest racing movie in history. Nothing will ever top it, period. To see this at the Cinerama Dome in 1967 was awe inspiring. It has never left my #1 spot in 41 years. The golden age of F1 beautifully captured by the genius of John Frankenheimer in Super Panavision. GENIUS!

actually you may be counting the most famous drivers, the real number is 27 kills in the 60's, lots of those were gruesome...
