Thanks!!! One pass that has always stuck in my memory is Mansells pass on Piquet back in '86 or '87 at Circuit Paul Ricard on the outside through a long sweeping right hand turn. I have it on tape but cannot find it on YouTube.

 

that'd be a good one to see

came across these too ...a couple days off of working gies me extra time online

That was in Austria and damn I loved that track . I have the race on tape in storage but if memory serves it was when Paul Ricard had all the blue run-off area, solid not striped. I believe the outside pass was made at Saint-Beaurne?

 

agreed, gone are the days of really great F1 tracks

 

Gone are the days when the driver makes all the difference.

 

...and when nearly the whole width of the track was for overtaking! some say this is the golden F1 era, but i can't agree, i miss the "action" of '80s and '90s F1

 

one of my fav passes:

marvelous reaction by Mansell-I'm sure Senna said WTF:

true!

 

so true!!

 

I wouldn't claim we're in any "golden era" but the racing is pretty darn close today.

Back in the 80's and '90's if we remove the rose-tinteds we find very little overtaking (surprise! ) and often only a few cars on the lead lap come the end........ What is this "action" to which you refer?

Cheers,
