As we sit churning out content, moderating the chat and enjoying the sights and sounds of the Monaco Historic, a debate has blossomed and continued to brew in our little corner of the media centre.
Poll: Vote for YOUR favourite era of Grand Prix car at Monaco!
&width=1600)
What is the best era of Grand Prix racing on show? For looks, I’d argue 66-72 “dawn of aero” cars. Digital Content Manager Ben disagrees, expressing his fondness for the high-airbox mid-'70s machines. As for sound, we’re all in agreement that we love a twelve-banger, be it flat or in a V – Ferrari, Matra or otherwise.
So rather than scupper our productivity bickering all the time, why don’t you settle it for us? Perhaps the pre-war machinery takes the cake or the front-engined cars? Maybe a diminutive early-‘60s machine is more to your tastes, or the peak of “Formula DFV” and the dawn of ground-effect? Have a browse and vote down below!
