1966. Black Jack had the drivers and constructors titles won with a string of four wins by mid season and they only counted 5 races, but it was intriguing watching the return to power with the swap to 3ltrs. The simplicity and ingenuity of the Repco developed Oldsmobile block in a space frame out performed some much more complex machinery.
It was also the last year at Riems, one of the great challenges of F1.
The list of drivers competing reads like a roll call of champions.
Reporting of F1 in the Australian media in those days was so bad that if Jack didn't win I had to wait 10 days fpr my Airmail copy of Autosport to get any results at all!
Used to catch up on vision when a friend who was traveling with the circus showed moe some of his super8 films when he was home.
