Thanks Jason. It was a dogfight to get back up there, but it worked out by the time the checkered flag flew.
We were just "slightly" outnumbered... ...going into this event...
...but we also had at lot of home-fans down in the 'ol "Watkins bog" pulling for us too, I guess, so it all came good in the end.
Needless to say, like the boggers I enjoyed a beer or two* myself after the race was run.
[* or three...or four....]
And then a few hours face down in the bed....
---
I'd love to do it again sometime too...
....but not tomorrow.

Haha Christopher ! I hope this year no Boggers burned down the bus of the fans who came up all the way from Brazil, like in 1974 IIRC !

Really hard to predict, Frank, since it's only 1970. But I would sure HOPE they won't (four years from now).

Btw, and as regards Brazil: "Brasil '66" [Sergio Mendes] is the real ticket for me.
But then...I'm on the wrong side of fifty, so maybe that makes sense, too.

Hehe well maybe the Brazilian fans burned the bus down themselves anyway, such was their disappointment when their favourites retired !
As for the music... Os Mutantes, Caetano Veloso, Astrud Gilberto... don't get me started on Tropicalismo !

I'm curious now. These groups have fans in France? i didn't even know about the existence of ''Os Mutantes'' until i watched the Movie of Senna.

As a fellow reader myself, I'm a fan of anyone else who reads (and this is how I learned all the best stuff about the history of auto-racing myself too).
THIS^ Herb Alpert [musical] track was played every year for about five years running here in the US, during ABC's "Wide World of Sports" broadcast of the Monaco Grand Prix. A (then only recently retired) Jackie Stewart showed us the way around the track pointing toward an architectural model of the circuit and surrounding buildings, while Herb played along in the background.
To this very day...if I hear this tune and really BEAR DOWN (helps to wear a helmet) I'm a good two seconds faster at Monaco.
I have to try this theory out next with the rF2 beta. Because I NEED at least two seconds there!
