	The Lost Art of Racing :: thetyee.ca
		The Mexico Grand Prix of 1964, I now see, marked a peak of interest for me. My excitement began to fade the next year, after Jim Clark the quiet sheep farmer stormed the Indy 500, and racing became a streaking billboard for big tobacco companies.
		British racing legend Stirling Moss said of Juan Manuel Fangio, "Most of us who drove quickly were bastards, but I can't think of any facets of Juan's character which one wouldn't like to have in one's own." While I never got to meet Fangio I sensed that in Clark.
		Grand Prix - the one with Yves Montand and Brian Bedford (the Clark character) and, I think Eva Marie Saint.

		The British Army also used AC Sociables due to their reliabilty and they were fitted with customized bodywork that acted as machine gun carriers.

	BRM Formula One Cars in Small Scale
		BRM (British Racing Motors) began right after WWII as an association of industrial companies to build an all-British Grand Prix car.
		Unfortunately, while BRM engineers were cooking up complex ideas and machining them out of whole metal in costly and ultimately fruitless experiments, British garage mechanics like Cooper and Lotus were throwing together light-weight rear-engine chassis with off-the-shelf parts and motors from Coventry Climax to win races and championships.
		BRM's original idea to bring British design and engineering to the forefront of the Grand Prix world was a good one and probably had a positive effect on other's efforts but they unfortunately had difficulty keeping up most of the time.
