Used to go regularly then to both UK and Euro venues - freebie - as guests of ICI, who sponsored the "wan*ers" team, complete with hospitality, pit passes etc.  Main issue was getting in/out of Silverstone, so used to get a free pass for a mate who'd fly us in in his Piper - used to fly from Gamblingay "grass strip" - those were the days, chatting with Frank, Patrick, Mansell and Rosberg (Snr) before and after racing.

I went to the G.P. at Brands hatch years ago,  84/85? , waited ages for it to start only to have Jacques Laffite stuff it on the first corner and break his legs , took so long for the restart I fell asleep and missed it !

Iirc that was the last f1 race held at Brands,and possibly Mansells first F1 win ?

Corrrect sir, Mansell won in the spare car IIRC

[albitz]

His team mate,Rosberg tripped over himself trying to pass the leader at Graham Hill bend/Cooper straight and Mansell passed both of them and took the win.There was no stopping him after that.

I didn't remember it quite right.Rosberg was almost a lap behind.
Note - Keke Rosberg with a ciggy hanging out of his mouth on the podium.You wouldn't see that these days.

Must admit I don't follow F1.Hats off to the marshalls for the sterling work they do though.Had it been affordable my money would've gone on going to the Isle of Man for next weeks TT races!

You only have to watch the first couple of corners to appreciate how much it's been dumbed down since then.
