    This was the race that got me hooked: My guy Rega wins the race! And the rest of the season was pretty cool too.

    Sadly they had that idiotic points system where the best results from the two season halves were counted. That's what prevented Alan Jones from winning the title in the FW07 despite pretty much winning everything in the second season. And it is the reason why Ferrari's Sheckter walked away with the title.

    I wasn't a Ferrari fan back then and thus felt this was the most unfair rule there ever was. Glad they removed that eventually.
