it depends when you started watching racing, I think. To me, the 50s were the very apogee of racing, as the cars were recognisable as exotic versions of what you could buy in the showroom .(And even actually buy, in the case of the C/D-Types and DBR3S).
The 70s onwards brought hideous sponsors colour schemes, and the death of the gentleman driver. Each to his own, I suppose.
