Remember when Stavelot-Blanchimont-Bus stop was a forest section?

And there was a barrier and huge kerb on the outside of Blanchimont

Remember when Marlboro McLaren was fighting Marlboro Ferrari on a track that had grass, gravel and Marlboro billboards because it was a Grand Prix that was title sponsored by Marlboro? Good times.

Anyone remember this jackass of a Marshall getting hit by Sebastian Vettel because he didn't look.

Remember.....local host broadcasters, the hazy NTSC pictures from Japan + N & S. American races, the varying quality of coverage from said broadcasters, Italian tv focussed solely on Ferrari, Japan on any Japanese back markers etc

Not old enough to remember it first-hand, but Murray Walker sounding like he is commentating over the phone at certain GPs.

And Japan, China and Malasia giving only aftermath of any big shunt.

...in most races the texts in the graphics were on the language of the host nation.

When Sebastian Vettel had that big crash in 2010

Many other TV channels did sound like that actually, especially for overseas GPs. Maybe they used a phone line for this kind of commentary, they'd send a guy over there and have a back-up guy at the office to fill in just in case something happens.

Definitely remember that, especially when the race was outside Europe. The only reason it stopped here was because they weren't able to afford having an on-site commentator anymore. These days it's all done in the local studio.

I thought you were about the same age as me - I remember this clearly! Mexico is one I definitely remember that being the case at.

I'm 32, but only really started watching from Adelaide 94 onwards. Also my memory has holes

I remember when Suzuka and Melbourne were at midnight here. It was a great time to what racing...for some reason I loved that. Now they're too late for us on this side of the pond, me thinks.
