^^Yeah, that. Historic racing isn't usually about the driver, its about the car and its history. You refer to the cars as ex-such and such, the current owners are just custodians of the cars who are passionate to keep them out for their enjoyment, and that of others. Any post-war historic will get me going, right up to the old GrpA and GrpC cars that are considered the 'young' cars amoungst the breed. F5000's are the first and the best V8 Supercars, they make everyone go weak at the knees simply knowing they are on the program.
For anyone who has not been to a HISTORIC race meeting, go to one, you will have the time of your life, either reliving the good old days, or wishing you were old enough to remember them.
