Excellent post. We often saw the likes of Moss, Hawthorn, etc drive saloons, sports cars, and Grand Prix cars at the same meeting, and next weekend probably be doing World Sports Car races at Monza, Nurburgring, or Le Mans.
Proper RACING DRIVERS, not Formula 1 Divas. Back in the day if you signed for Mercedes or Ferrari you raced where ever and what ever the factory told you to. I am sure the Targa Florio in a Testa Rosso Ferrari would soil a few items today.
It was not coincidence - it was the job.
