The great Tazio Nuvolari in the D-Type Auto-Union at Monza in 1938.
Your Golden Epoch?
Most motor racing folk look back to their favourite eras from time to time because we have brains that store memories. Like all 'disciplines' motor sport, in all its forms, has gone through highs and lows, but even during troughs, we can often reflect on something that has been stored in our minds with affection.
As usual your views and images will always be of great interest. And thanks.

Colin Chapman didn't always see eye to eye with the Italian 'tifosi'.

Graham Hill rounds the Nurburgring's Karussell in the beautiful Lotus 16 during the early days of his GP career. No one uses it but the full name for the Karussell is the Caracciola-Karussell.

The 1955 Nardi 'bisiluro' (twin-boom) car at Le Mans, 1955. An interesting contraption powered by a 750cc BMW engine. 'Twas blown awf the road by a D-Type.

An unfortunate end for the P25 driven by Tony Brooks at the 1956 British GP. Tony was less than impressed with the BRM's handling and famously commented: "At least it had the good grace to set fire to itself."

Oh yes, I LOVE that Nardi!

Such wonderfully 'off the wall' thinking, even if it was blown off by the D Types.

Your post 462 of Fangio at Rouen, 1957, above simply reminds me of an old daubing of similar, which I found this afternoon whilst searching for a mislaid slot car. The bent nosecone on Fangio's 250F was acquired whilst he was lapping Jean Behra, as I'm sure you recall.

Ah yes, the 906 is much 'squarer' in styling than the more rounded 910. Thanks Trisha.

That's an amazingly 'standard looking' MGB GT in the background.
