The 80s were the best. Not only were there names like Senna, Prost, Mansell and Lauda and a shitload of constructors and engines but there was also the CART (Indy) that was just as respectable with names like Andretti, Unser, Fittipaldi and Mears. Sports car racing was still at it's peak too, and dare I mention NASCAR topping 210 mph in those old non-tech, 4-speed, all driver 3,400 lb rides.

It was a miserable decade for Detroit but probably the greatest decade for race fans. I miss it.

Search for some 80s F1 or Indy races on YouTube and you'll see some of the best coverage ever.
