Wow Tom - what memories - thanks for sharing them.
My memories of those days are confined to those of a schoolboy racing fan attending the races at Killarney track in Cape Town in the 60's and seeing Bobby Olthoff racing his Cobra and Galaxy (Turned me into an instant Cobra fan). Also the 6 hour races with GT40's, Ferrari P4's, Lola T70's, Porsche 917's etc that appeared at different times and sometimes together. (A lasting memory is standing on the Dunlop Bridge looking through the treads and watching and hearing those cars passing through just before their braking point. Will never forget the rush they gave.
Also was a huge fan of the young Jodie Scheckter in his Renault R8 Gordini. His car control shone through even then.
It was the best of times for a young racing fan and turned me into a lifelong petrolhead.
Am really looking forward to the Movie.
