I remember those duels like they were yesterday, great stuff, but to be fair to today's drivers, you can't duel like that anymore, as much as they'd like to, I'm sure. Any minor off-track excursion and you're stuck in the litter, race over. Any more forceable contact and you're penalized. It's a no win situation, the stakes are so high that the sport has been taken out of it. We're starting to see racing again in corners where asphalt has replaced the gravel traps.

I remember watching that GP, and when it was over I realized that something special had just happened. Not just that phenomenal first lap, but well beyond. If anyone has a copy of that race, in its entirety, I'm dying to buy a copy for my library. Please help.
