What are the best races you've seen?

I've been fortunate to witness some cracking drives and races in the years i've been mad on the sport, both trackside and a couple on telly (which don't count.)

What are your best memories?

Here's a list of mine:

1/ '84 Tourist Trophy - Jags and Alfa's sounded glorious, massive Rover v Volvo v Bee-em scrap and a nail biting finish with Walkinshaw breaking down having clawed back huge deficit to Brancatelli.

2/ '88 Tourist Trophy - Dick Johnson slaughtered the ETCC boys for pace, Rouse beat Eggenberger to win.

3/ Birminhgam F3000 '90 - Barbazza drove the rubbish Leyton House like a man posessed until drove over back of stubborn Irvine. Fabrizio had started midfield and got upto sixth. Brilliant!

4/ '92 Silverstone F3000 - Gounon recovered from first corner spin to storm upto fourth at flag, did a car a lap right in front of us at Priory for many laps.

5/ '95 Donington F3 - Rodriguez and Castroneves side by side down 'Craners' on second lap, mm's apart - both guys i reckoned to be on same level as Montoya for pace and bravery. Gonzo much missed.

there's more but this should get everyone thinking?!
