wow, beat you by one year - my dad took me 1971 to the 1000km race at the ring.
In 1972 I saw the 1000 km and F1 - last Ferrari win of Jacky Ickx

I can also down that route, " beat you by one year" My first race was 1000k's in 1970,then again in 1971, and also the G P that year. I have all three programmes so will bring them with me to MB if you would like to have a look?

I was there!! I live in Chester and cycled to the race. That was my first year on the circuits but I can't remember any races before that.

Born in 1961, December,  but conceived at Sebring back in March (9mo's)

Gotcha right back.
