1999 and 2000 were catastrophically bad years.

At the time they were tense seasons, with quite close title battles, but go back and watch the individual races now. Dire stuff.

Bridgestone made absolutely rock hard tyres and it was impossible to race on them. Ally that to the wonderful refuelling era and you had a recipe for pooh. So, so boring especially when you got to watch a thrilling CART race later in the day.

This is why Pirelli have a mandate to make tyres that fall apart the moment you leave the pits, unfortunately.
