Hello, MB-BOB here. I've followed F1 since the mid 1960's, since Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill first appeared at the Brickyard. I was intrigued with the rear-engine Lotus, and it pegged my interest in learning about F1.
Back then, all we could watch in the US was taped delay broadcasts of the Monaco GP. It was a good showcase then and more or less remains so today.
With the advent of consumer grade recording media (VHS followed by DV-R), I began recording the races in May 1982, the first being the unfortunate weekend in Zolder where Gilles Villeneuve died. With the exception of three races missed due to technical difficulties, etc, I have made it a habit to record every race since.
I live in the Dallas, TX area, USA... home of the one-off (thankfully) and completely forgettable 1984 Dallas Grand Prix.
