That peak "American" right there. (The C3 Vette has always looked like a production version of a drag racer to me.)

The British Racing Green cars from the 1960s look the best in my opinion, especially the Lotus 67 with the yellow stripe.

Lotus 67 has got me confused... I guess you mean 1967, just prior to the Golf Leaf Lotus liveries..... a bit like this Lotus 49 from the BRG days

Sorry of course I meant the 49. All the F1 cars from the 1965-73 era look amazing to me, but the 49 looks so sleek and fast. That picture is from Jim Clark's last race I believe, the first Lotus with adverts (and last in Racing Green).Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑3 years agoLotus 67 has got me confused...

It also looks like a car that you could just get in and drive, which always appeals.

Indeed Jim Clarks final championship race, (and win). South African GP 1968Mars wrote: ↑3 years agoSorry of course I meant the 49.

It was also the race that got him to the most GP wins (tied with Fangio prior to this race..... plus a few other records were broken by Jim this weekend. Most poles and also most 'perfect weekends' (win, pole and fastest lap. Plus most races and most laps led.
It was also the race that saw the first ever sponsor liveried car (The Gunston Brabham of John Love.)
Of course not only was it Jim Clarks final Championship GP, it was also the same for Mike Spence, killed at Indy before the next championship round.
It was not Clarks final race or even F1 win though, or his final GP win... as after this (South African GP) Jim was one of many GP drivers who took part in the Tasman Championship; indeed he won the Tasman Championship (his 3rd win) that year and with it won the Australian Grand Prix at Sandown, making that technically his last Grand Prix titled race win (albeit a non championship Grand Prix)
(*Waits for someone to tell me they were not technically F1 races because although F1 cars were used (for instance Clark was in a Lotus 49) they were not the full 3 litre F1 engines, as the Tasman ran only up to 2.5 litre capacity. But I would counter that by saying the F1 regs allowed engines up to 3 litres which of course includes 2.5litres. Actually I think the 2.5 litre version of the DFV they used was called a DFW, used a short stroke crank, and following the Tasman series all the DFW's were converted back to 3.0litre DFVs )

I didn't know John Love had a liveried car in that race, interesting. Lotus and Chapman are always seen as being ahead of the game in terms of developments but Brabham were pretty revolutionary with the sponsorship and wings both arguably being before Lotus (they had small "wings" at the end of 1967).

The Team Gunston Brabham of John Love was not a works entry ..... the works team were running BT24's for Rindt and Brabham (in BRG livery). The John Love car was an old BT20, entered under a Team Gunston (Cigarettes) livery. In fact Team Gunston entered two cars, at that GP.... the BT20 Repco for Love and an LDSMk3B Repco for Sam Tingle, another Rhodesian driver.Mars wrote: ↑3 years ago I didn't know John Love had a liveried car in that race, interesting.

The #17John Love Team Gunston Brabham BT20 SAGP 1968
The #18 Sam Tingle Team Gunston LDS SAGP 1968
The other unique occurence for that race was that it spanned two years..... Practice was held in 1967 (30th and 31st December 1967) with the race held 1st January 1968.

You can see the early "wing" behind the front wheel on the second picture, which Brabham and to some extent others had trialled in late 1967, more to keep the car stable at high speeds rather than create downforce.

Unless I have the meaning of the word "unique" wrong, it wasn't - fourth in a row, more like.

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)Michael Ferner wrote: ↑3 years ago Unless I have the meaning of the word "unique" wrong, it wasn't - fourth in a row, more like.
Prior to 1965 they were always end December, and after were mostly held in March.
