It was British F3 that got me started in journalism & I covered it for quite a few years. In those days most future F1 stars seemed to pass through too. Oh, & that's where I met Bauble... It's all different now though.
In those days the season ended with a party in Eddie Jordan's workshops after the Silverstone finale. Only the other day I found an invitation drawn by Mario Hytten's brother - he used to produce a cartoon strip telling the story of each race in a style that Gerard would know as BD.
To pinch somebody else's catchphrase, Happy Days.
