A week at the track with anyone, any year, any track, who would it be, what track, and why that person in particular ? (You cannot choose any family member)
Great question! Tough choice. My first thought was that I would either pick: a) Stirling Moss, LeMans 1957, because I never really got to watch him race and one of my favorite Le Mans race cars is the Maserati 450 in coupe form. or b) Michael Schumacher, Monaco, 2001, Michael wins the race and becomes World Champion, his last Monaco win. hmmmm, I think I will pick Le Mans 1957, Stirling Moss.
Tazio Nuvolari 1935 German GP Since he wasn't expected to win, the Nazis didn't have anything but the German National Anthem, ol' Taz brought his own to celebrate one of the greatest drives ever.
May, 1982. Zolder, Belgium. "Gilles, you should wait until Jochen Mass has finished his cool down lap until you go out to qualify".
Imola 1994 with Bernie Ecclestone. "Something isn't right, you really should cancel the whole weekend" .........
I'm thinking 1966-68, one of those years, any GP circuit, but I can't decide if it would be with Jack Brabham, Colin Chapman, or Dan Gurney. I would have said Donohue in 1970-71, but that was accomplished. When I posed this question, I was thinking folks might like to hang with a chief engineer or team principal, to see what they are thinking about overall, changes to make in the design, etc. Paul Rosche in trying to get the BMW Turbo to stay in one piece in 1982 maybe, or trying to get the Alfa Fan car to work in 1978 was it ? Or with Jim Hall and the Chapparrel project in about 1967-78 would have been interesting.
Ferrari, Monza 2000, Michael Schumacher. That was the race that he beat Ayrton Senna's record for victories, and everyone probably remembers how he behaved in the conference room afterwards. I think that would have been unbelievable to be there with him and the Tifosi thundering and roaring in glorious excitement and triumph.
Hello, Saw Senna in Detroit one year. He was the nicest fellow. Totally upbeat before the race(suprised me a bit). Any Brazilian GP with him would be great. MDred85
1955 Mille Miglia on a Mercedes 300 SL navigating Stirling Moss to his 100 mph drive across Italy. Think about it, I would probably have soiled my pants!
well, i have tonnes..but the best would maybe be Austria 2003 with MS. that fiery victory he had...as well as the Sepang 2001. he and rubens did a 1-2 after flying off the track in the early part of the race.
1957 German GP at the Nurburgring to witness Fangio`s greatest GP Victory. Runner up 1921 French GP to see Jimmy Murphy in an American Duesenberg win,stunning the French.
1966 or 67 with J. clark at any Grand Prix circuit...may be Nurburgring. Because those were the most beautifull F1 cars. and Clark a great champion and a gentleman.
1988, Monaco GP, Senna. I'd like to find out what the hell he ate the night before to qualify 1.8s ahead of Prost.
Maybe Mexican. Having to go make a poop would be one hell of a reason to drive faster.....................
My sentiments exactly. I'd take any year between 1964 and 1977 - but prefer 66 - 68, but I don't think i'd hang with a driver, well, unless he was a babe magnet and I could get what he turned down.
