An absolute disgrace.

Great moments, the talk about Hockenheim 1982 made me get it out and have a look at the race again, wonderful stuff, as has already been mentioned, Piquet and Salazar, Tambay scoring his first win for Maranello a day after Pironi suffered his terrible injuries.

2000, Barrichello's stunning drive, and i guess it is fitting that the last race on the real track produced a home winner.

Makes me appreciate more the track 'Catalina Park' which hasn't been used since the mid 70s, is in the middle of a town in the blue mountains, which hasn't been touched, even down to all the barriers and old tyre stacks are still in place, tarmac only slightly damaged through some weeds growing through the track, maintanence sheds still up, even down to the old 60s style start/finish signs still there, and is less than an hour from my place, i shall visit it even more now.
