I found an old copy of "Motor Sport" magazine today which includes a report of the 1964 Monaco Grand Prix. The following is a précis of the most interesting part:
While leading in the Lotus 25 Jim Clark suffered a broken anti-roll bar which, although it didn't slow him down, fell off on the circuit after several laps. After going into the pits to have the remainimg link removed he lost the lead to Graham Hill in the BRM but chased him until the car developed fuel injection problems which slowed him a bit then he lost oil pressure but Colin Chapman told to carry on so he nursed it for a few more laps until the engine seized on the last lap. Can you imagine that happening today?
Don't you think the cars were much prettier then without wings, spoilers and adverts?
