Your Golden Epoch?

Trisha going anywhere in that car would have been a tedious business 🥱

Just read there's a biopic in the making of Enzo Ferraris life in the summer of 1957.
Be interesting to see Hollywood's interpretations.

I wonder how many of his unsavoury aspects will be included?

There are some excellent details of Jim's racing and travelling schedule for 1963 on Peter Windsor's site, for Jim it was hectic and successful,well apart from being robbed of the Indy win.

Pescara, 1957. The last great road race?

Nope. Monaco, Pau and Angouleme are still running.

Take your point, Gripping, but great?

I must say that I very much like the latter two tracks, but Angouleme is licensed for a maximum 120 mph speed and Pau for 140 mph so this limits the cars that can be raced there.

There was no such limit at Pescara where Fangio in a 159 Alfa Romeo was timed at 192 mph! This is on a cambered public road with trees kerbs and houses on each side and no special surface in a 1950 technology car. It's bum clenching just to think about.
