Here are some pictures I stumbled upon today -Brands Hatch 1980 and my second ever visit to a GP when I was around 18.

Pictures are; 1 Eddie Cheever (on left) chats to his mechanics who are working on his Ossela. 2. a Copersucar -team owned by Emmo Fittipaldi, who iirc was still driving them then. 3.A Williams FW07 of either Alan Jones or Carlos Reutemann. 4. A Ferrari 312t4 of either Gilles Villeneuve or Jody Sheckter.

Something about racing and life in general that I much preferred in those days...

Yeah I took those -have to say the pit garages that we sometimes get to use are somewhat better than those prefabby things they're in here.

Dunno what the big tin-basin thingie is either?!

So where's the smokes and cans of Double Diamond.

Edit: Or Skol, for that matter!?
