    He's got more.

    1966 EUROPEAN GP

    1972 BRITISH GP

    I think these were all just uploaded a few days ago and he says he's going to be adding more.

I don't think Gizell (sp?) would really care about Formula One at Watkins Glen in 1972. Those photos of 1966, even if 1966 was a huge year for Henry #2, are little changed or different than any photo pertaining to the culture of that AWESOME event. Lemans lives. Lemans isn't Goodwood, Lemans isn't motorsport pickled in formaldehyde (I am not saying it shouldn't be). You can still buy Grand Marnier crepes at 5:AM while Bernie is no where in sight with his hand out.
    Exactly. Can you imagine attending an F1 race today (or any time in the last 15+ years) and walking up on the Ferrari team like this? Not gonna happen. It was pretty much still like this foto in 1979 when I was at Watkins Glen. Then it slowly deteriorated to a point where Bernie actually covers the fences surrounding the paddock. Not only can't you enter, you aren't even allowed to look inside from the fence!

    That's why I love those Tate films - shot when the enthusiast was able to be in the pits.
    Mine hade some production faults on DVD#5 (the replacement had them too) but this doesn't matter. The rest of the DVDs compensates.
    Expect it to be british - a lot of AMOC / Aston Martin, Touring Car races, hobbyist/privateer racing, and formula one.
