Around the time I was born, but who'll ever forget that race at Crystal Palace - it made the BBC's 100 Greatest Sporting Moments! What a race.
I wish I'd been born earlier because I just know how amazing those cars and drivers must have been to watch during that era.
I don't have a particular favourite era, rather favourites.
I used to love those Spice Capris and Rover Vitesses.
1994 (just before all the aero kits) also stands out. Massive manufacturer and spectator appeal and fantastic drivers. Plus, of course, Murray Walker.
The TT race at Silverstone, when Rouse beat the Eggenberger RS500s, was also a brilliant race to be at and watch on TV (I've still got Grandstand's highlights on tape somewhere).
The current lot is still taking shape under Alan Gow so I don't think it's fair to compare until it's in full swing. One would suspect that it's going to be very impressive.
