GP racing in the '50s and '60s was certainly more of a pure driving challenge (as opposed to the technical elements which modern drivers now have to cope with), but remember that the racing wasn't always close. For example, Moss's win at Pescara in '57 was a great drive on a real road circuit, but it wasn't a great race in terms of a fight (hence, I would have one list for great drives and one for great races!). He beat Fangio by almost 4 minutes...
I was glad to see Hungary '89 mentioned. It was a great race, both in terms of it including a great drive (Mansell's greatest?) and overtaking/close racing.
