Cool page!  I go to the Monterey Historics a lot and have seen a lot of the old GP cars and drivers.  Last year they had a bunch of Auto Union cars including a V-16 with Hans Stuck driving.  

Also there have been guys like Phil Hill, Stirling Moss, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jack Brabham, Denny Hulme, Chris Amon, Parnelli Jones, Dan Gurney, Caroll Shelby, etc. usually driving the cars they drove way back when.


My favorites are the old Benz cars like the W196.  One year Fangio was driving this car for a 5 lap demo.  He drove slowly the first lap, with a 600SL in front of him taking pictures.  He gradually increased the pace, forcing the 600SL to drive faster.  Finally on the third lap the 600SL spun, and Fangio goosed the W196 and did two hot laps before returning to the pits.  Needless to say, the crowd went nuts.

The Belgian GP qualifying session was dominated by Mika Hakkinen.
The flying Finn was the second driver to set a time, taking provisional pole, which was only temporarily taken away from him for two minutes by Jarno Trulli. The McLaren champion went on to improve on his own time. In a surprise top six the rest of the places were taken by Jarno Trulli, Jenson Button, Michael Schumacher, David Coulthard and Ralf Schumacher

I rest my case

2 cars behind Mika to block Schumacher.  I hope Jenson and Jarno drive very WIDE cars tomorrow.

I wish Trulli have a good race; IMHO we haven seen all his capabilities yet.
(And because hes father named Jarno after this guy).

Also that Button is kind a strange; When season started I didn't believe that he could stay in F-1 but looks like he's there to stay and even have a chance to climb to podium. Nice  .

Here's another great American driver.  

 

[Staga]

Ferrari 312 T5 from 1980 ?
Maybe Gilles Villeneuve?

He was famous because he was one of the few who could drive his car "side slide" (look pic...)

Right or wrong ?

[Staga]

I'm so good  

Ferrari won championship '79 (Jody  Scheckter) with 312T4.
Because cars no. is 2 it's from next year 1980, Model 312T5.

Yes it is GV.  Only one current driver has that much talent.

I do it on the street in my Civic every winter.

I used to drive a BMW with a differential lock. Kinda strange; Sometimes I wondered if I could install wipers to side windows... Did it asphalt too  
Once I took couple architechture (sp?) students from Boston with me and they were quite silent all the way from Mantsala to Helsinki (Highway, 50km). Maybe because I drove 120Mph in the middle of the night... Little hurry   (speed limit 75Mph)

Ohhh.. btw:
