Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fangio at Monaco

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Good idea Tom - while it was done in the US (first race was Penske prepared Porsches) in the mid-1070's, I'm not sure what happened to the series.

I'd like to see one or two (or a small series?) of races after the F1 season is officially over where all the F1 drivers participate in a spec series, just so we can see how good they really are as compared to the equipment they were driving during the season.  I mean, look at Michael vs Nico vs (fill in the appropriate blanks).  That would be exciting, I think.

If Bernie really wanted a show he would require all teams to meet 1957 specs for Monaco.  It would be much more exciting than the follow-the-leader race that is there right now...Rick

Hello,

           The video of Fangio at Monaco in the Ferrari/Lancia was terrific!

           This was real F1!

            Drivers you could see work.

            Drum brakes.

            Driver shifting.

            No electronics.

            Skill, not tires more important.

             If things went back to this spec, how many modern drivers would compete?

             Just my thoughts.

             Dale
