Thanks for the video. The 1965-67 F1 cars were the most beautiful machines ever, even if they were all power and not very safe. I had a replica 66 Lotus for the slot car track my dad made for us; it was my favorite.

Those drivers had guts, I’ll give them that. And for me, the period 1966-1980 was the Golden Age of auto racing.

I completely concur. The '67 Lotus is THE singularly most wonderful sample of an open wheel racing car ever constructucted. Perhaps the closed cockpit Jaguars (1990s IMSA) or Porsche 917s may rival IMO, but those wide rear tires just move my soul.
