ChiefWiggum’s 70s-style F1 - midweek fun

[Jonrarit]

Its quite shocking really when you look at all the cars above and realise how many of those drivers didnt see old age , much as i love cars of that era they were death traps and the guys who drove them had big ones

Absolutely agree. I was lucky enough to get a drive in James Hunts Hesketh F3 car a few years back and scared the life out of me!!! The suspension was loose as hell compared to modern single seaters. It also had inboard disks and the pads would knock back on the straights. The Clutch pipe ran next to the exhaust and would boil the fluid so braking into a hairpin involved pumping up the brakes and the clutch at the same time heal toeing the downshifts......... you needed the footwork of fred astaire to drive this thing
