First Gp 1996 - Spanish Gp - it was wet, the safety car was out i think and Schumi proved wwat people say today he was the rain master. After that race i loved Ferrari. My Dad hated it because he loved the British teams and drivers but i fell in love with them after that race. Through the bad and good. And i read books @ school and just was so amazed by F1 @ such a young age. Teachers got so angry @ how much i would read about them and how much i was amazed by the team and Michael lol. & from that i have grown a love + Passion for Ferrari.

my father today still hates the fact how much i love them lol, and how i always have posters and picutres from the 90's. I have also looked @ old races from the 80's etc and read as much as possible about them. Honestly a real love right there folks. I just love the Italian way, Rossi + Ferrari. Just love there spirits it is just amazing and right up my aisle. I really want to see the Maranello show room of all the cars..... :cloud9:

Kyalami, South Africa in 1985. I was a kid but old enough that I remember every minute.

I'll NEVER forget my first glimpse of Senna in his JPS Lotus :clap:

Yes, young grasshopper! :D

There's nothing like actually being at a race, is there? I had a huge gap between being a kid at Kyalami until my next GP (2001 USGP). On qually day, I walked up to the top of the stadium just as Schuey's Ferrari peeled out of the pits, Talk about shivers down the back, and a slight moisture around the eye area.

That's once I got over the fact that the Ferrari in real-life looked eerily....orange :eek:

The first F1 race I saw was British GP 1973 at Silverstone. I saw every brit round upto 1989 when it got too dear.But I saw the greatest drivers,Senna,prost,Stewart ,Peterson,Villeneuve,and the rest.Without doubt the best era ever

Suzuka, 1993.
At that time I started playing game "F1 Grand Prix" on retro computer Commodore Amiga and this game brought me into the F1 world. Last two races I was watching in the mornings, on Eurosport, with John Watson's brilliant commentating. Great memories, great times :) My first full season was 1994, saddest in F1 history.

The first race I went to was Monaco in 1987, loved it so much I went back in 1988 and 1989! The access then was amazing compared to the security there is now. We were able to wander around the pits and paddock (not during any of the sessions obviously!) take pictures and meet people, that is so much more difficult to do now......unless you have the appropriate laminate obviously!
