Lets just say unique to South Africa. And I might argue the 4 in a row 'fact'. Settle for 3? 1965/67/68. (No SA GP in 1966)
Prior to 1965 they were always end December, and after were mostly held in March. :wink:

Poor Mike Spence. He didn't win that often at that level, and now you're gonna tell him it was just a dream?

A championship race win dream perhaps. AFAIK he never won at a world championship level..Shame for him the field was, with respect to those Championship drivers that started, not a full championship quality or championship status. No Clark, no Ferrari, 50 % local drivers.

But I get your point :wink:

Kinda interesting, I know absolutely nothing about Mike Spence's career. Looks like he won the 1965 ROC and the 1966 non-WDC South African GP, but that's otherwise it. History never really gave him a chance...

My favorites were the 1960's Gulf livery, the 1950's Jaguar team colours, and the early 1990's Benetton formula 1 cars.

Aha.... with the Jim Crawford connection. :thumbsup: The B45 F2 Chevron always looks good but the Plygrange livery certainly made it pop. That must be Aurora c1980.

Yep, 1980. Always thought it looked really classy.

McLaren had a lot of iconic designs, but hard to beat the papaya orange they sported in the late 60s / early 70s.

Yes indeed. I am quite glad to see the current livery showing a bit of the colour back again. So much better than the simlpy awful (my opinion) West livery of the late 90's' to mid noughties. One of the ugliest liveries ever imho. Watching a couple of Kimi videos earlier reminded me how awful it was. Never liked the vodafone one much either. Anyway this is about favourite liveries not worst so I'll shut up
