I remember when i was a wee boy of 8, some 26 years ago, we visited our grandparents every sunday. My nephew lived there and he was 4 years older then me and a big fan of F1. So every sunday(or every other sunday) we sat and watched live F1 on the BBC. I didn't speak a word English but i couldn't care less. All i wanted to see was fast cars and lots of crashes! And there were plenty of it! Engines catching fire, Turbo's exploding, glowing embers spewed meters in the air from the titanium bottomplate scratching the tarmac. The pitlane packed with hundreds of people all jumping aside when a car comes in, not a single person in the pitlane carying a helmet or any safetygear. Oh i miss those days with legends as Prost, Senna, Nelson Piquet, Stephen Johannson, ... Its so boring nowdays. The excitement factor today is nowhere near what is was in the mid 80ties. Someone posted a site on this forum where you can download all grand prix's since 1986. I watched Spa in 86 and 87 so far and its awesome!
