In the last 30 years, daunting Formula 1 circuits like the old 14-mile Nurburgring and super-fast Spa road course have been altered beyond recognition, while others have been dropped from the calendar completely. Multi-million-dollar sponsorships, bland press conferences, computers, and space-age materials have displaced cheerful camaraderie, technical ingenuity, and sheer courage.
