Mercedeses, Rear-engined Auto Unions, Ferrari-entered Alfa's, races at the
Nurburgring, Avusring, Monza, Spa, Monaco...

so many compatative cars that year: Ferrari, Lotus, McLaren, Tyrell,
Brabham.....

I, however, miss some other great years:


mid-fifties: great cars :Lancia-Ferrari D50, Vanwall, Maserati 250F,
Mercedes 196, first Loti, Coopers. I think it would be acceptable to
have all these cars in one game altough they did't acually race in the
same year. 

early seventies: same atmosphere as in 1967, but cars that are easier to
drive.

1979/80: Unrestricted wing-cars, first turbo-engines, beautiful
Ferrari 312T4/T5. It would be great to be able to choose between the fast
but hard to drive and unreliable early turbo-cars and the slower but
easier and reliable athmospheric cars.

Greetings, Han
