Tire profile vs tire performance

Here's a treat. It's Google Video of the BBC coverage for the
Montreal Grand Prix from 1985.

Murray Walker / James Hunt

35 minutes of good fun with drivers of legendary time.

Great drive by Steve Johnson ( ;-), and I'd forgotten how casual F1 was
in those days... marshalls wandering around, tables and umbrellas
set-up outside the safety barrier, mayhem in the pits, and that lovely
JPS Lotus livery.

What's also cool is how there were almost no grandstands on the corner exiting
the hairpin. We used to buy a general admission ticket for C$ 20, show up
early, lay down a blanket and have the time of our lives!

Now the entire place is packed with grandstands where seats cost 20 times as
much, and general admission is a complete waste of time.
