Although I was only 12 years old at the time I knew I was watching a pure genious.

A while ago on another forum, someone raised the question 'if you had the ability to travel through time and go back to watch any races in history, which would they be?'- that Brands race came up in quite a few people's lists- mine included.
I remember seeing a wonderful photo somewhere of Pedro exiting Druids just as you describe- the car is so sideways that the nose is virtually pointing into the bank on the inside of the track....
