I sent you a PM. Sounds like some trouble... uhh... I mean fun to be had.

 

I saw one McLaren that was driven by Emerson Fittipaldi in a museum in Curitiba, Pr, Brazil and I couldn't believe myself that was a F1 car of 70's, but it is what it is and those guys were just gifted and brave enough to drive it.

Destacam-se ainda, uma caleça francesa Rotschil de 1910, clássicos como o LINCOLN Continental 1947, o McLaren M23 (doado pela Philip Morris) com o qual Emerson Fittipaldi sagrou-se campeão mundial de Fórmula 1 em 1974, bicicletas, motocicletas e diversas curiosidades mecânicas.

Translating what is in bold above:
The Mclaren M23 (donate by Philips Morris) with which Emerson Fittipaldi was F1 champion in 1974.

Next time I am going there I make a video and I am sure people are going to believe how primitive those cars were.

 

A little Austin porn:



I'll take better pics of the swag tonight.

 

Yes that is it. The only difference I could almost touch the car.

I'm so jealous. Had wanted to attend but $$$ and 60 working days till retirement. My first GP was in 1971 Barcelona Spain still in High School great time. The padlock was a grassy lot and you clould walk right up to the cars. JPS won and Mario caught fire across from me during the race.

 

I have being at F1 on Rio 1987, just a dream. Feel bad because Senna was on yellow Lotus Camel. McLaren and the professor were perfect. A lots of great names Alain Prost, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansel, Michele Alboreto, Gehard Berger, Stefan Johanssen, Eddie Cheever (USA). Nelson Piquet should have won with Williams but w not newse screw up him on warm up lap, because we Brazilian fans throw up a lots of shreded paper (confeti) on the warm up lap and some got stuck on the Nelson's Williams radiator and he has to stop to clean the radiator, Prost took over. Lotus Camel seems a broken car. McLaren shifting on the back strech was just a perfection. I remember how on the edge Michele Aboreto was driving the Ferrari. And Prost was boring PERFECT. Nelson Piquet was pissed off with Brazilian fans like he always been no news on that (before, during and after race). And Senna was already a Hero for us (pride). Good memories.

 

So here is what you get for a lot of $$$:

Tickets for two for the entire weekend



Hospitality suite on Saturday



And Sunday



Lanyards to carry everything



Ear plugs



To be continued

 

Two 8x21 monoculars



Two hats



And two back pacs



The end.

 

If you're free we can do something Thursday night.

 

Who needs EAR Plugs at a GP just enjoy the sounds.:beer

 

Yeah. Compared to an F1 race (or any other) and AC/DC concert would be akin to a book club discussion.

 

Yea the last one was Long Beach '81. Your probably right at 18,000rpm.

 

Disagree!
