THE DAYS WHEN RACING WAS EXCITING

I don't know about you guys but the racing scene seems to softened up so much that health and safety decides your car has too much power you might kill yourself?! huh?! Call me old skool but the whole point of racing is to go faster than the next guy. Well back in the day F1 had 1500bhp with less tech to keep it on road, we had GroupB rallies with cars over 600bhp and some of them rear wheel drive?! racing over the ledges to their sure death.
Back in the day power was everything. I don't mean anyone has to die but racing became a docile thing now, and to prove my point the following snapshots off various sites should firmly prove my point.
ENJOY

Andrea de Cesaris in Brabham BT 56 versus Stefan Johansson in Mclaren MP4/3.

1992 Spa 24 Hours pit fire. Zexel R32.

Taking a bit of risk here

Not just drivers and their cars were crazy


When turbos was as big as your engine.
