Ok, just *one* more Mansell video

From Cleveland in 1993. Look at this epic battle between Nigel and Emerson Fittipaldi. Watching racing like this on TV was how I really fell in love with racing. Two F1 champions with decades of experience battling wheel to wheel lap after lap. No contact, no BS. Just perfect racecraft.

Amen, 'Biliac. Except that Cleveland was a b.s. course--and I can say that because I grew up in Cleveland and watched a CART race on that course. Old Timers like me usually hark back to the glory days of Can-Am (which I saw at Mid-Ohio). Can-Am didn't hold a candle to CART cars on courses like Road America, Laguna Seca, and Mid-Ohio. Even at Mid-Ohio, CART cars were muscle-bound: no place to REALLY give the car full, sustained, power.
