After Damon Hill had tried a sixties F1 car at the Goodwood revival, he turned to Phil Hill (World Champion 61), and said: "I can't drive these cars; they don't stop, they don't turn in, they don't do anything! I don't know how you guys did it!" So there you have it from a world champion, the cars really were difficult to drive in the sixties. The quote is from the november issue of F1 racing, which also has a nice 5 page (well, 2 of them are just pictures) article on Dan Gurney. It isn't about 67, but all of his F1 career, but it's still interesting to know a little background for the drivers you compete against, so if you can i would recomend that you get the magazine
