That's from Jackie Stewart's autobiography DVD. Great DVD, quite moving in places.

Great stuff, my favourite era.

I have this picture on the living room wall of Jackie Oliver in the 1967 Grand Prix at the 'ring.



Now that's a pic and a half!

Track looks even more narrow than it is now!

the corners were even more blind than they are now..

I found it hard to recognise the video.. despite doing 50+laps there.

I could recognise it if I concentrated, but I certainly wouldn't be able to use my knowlege to drive it in that state.

The fact that there were no kerbs and only trees (no armco) to catch your mistake made it all the more awesome (in the real sense of the word)!!!

It looked like a quiet drive through the Dales with Blurter in some respects!
