A few days more than 55 years ago Mario Andretti won the non-championship #F1/#F5000 #QuestorGP for Ferrari. It was held on the vast, gleaming & popular Ontario Motor Speedway, which opened in โ70 & closed in โ80. Click to read my new @Motor_Sport column.

#HappyBirthday Larry Perkins, 76. He started 11 #F1 GPs between โ74 & โ77, without success, but he won championships in Aussie #F2, Euro #F3, #F5000 & #Rallycross. Later he became an #AussieV8 maestro for Holden. Pic: Brabham BT45, Mosport, โ76 (subbing for Carlos Reutemann).

Remembering Graham McRae, born #OnThisDay in โ40, a clever driver-engineer who raced one #F1 GP, Silverstone โ73 (Iso-Marlboro: lap-1 DNF), & excelled in #TasmanSeries & #F5000. Pic: at Riverside, USA, in โ74, in his own McRae GM2 F5000 car.

Warwick Brown, an #F5000 ace who turns 76 today, said: โThose cars were monsters. We had to unbolt our brains. Donโt think about it. Just go for it.โ Pic: Brownโs Lola-Chevy T332, Teretonga, โ74. He won the โ75 #Tasman #NewZealandGP in the car at Pukekohe, lapping the field.

You may know that Peter Gethin won the non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions in an #F5000 Chevron. #AnorakFact: it was the only race other than the โ69 non-championship F1 #MadridGP, won by Keith Holland (who turns 90 today) in a Lola (pic), in which an F5000 car beat F1 cars.

Jackie Pretorius, born #OnThisDay in โ34, raced 3 #F1 GPs in South Africa, in โ68, โ71 & โ73, making his F1 GP debut in a privateer Brabham BT11 fitted with a Climax straight-4. Later in โ68 he won 2 #SAF1 races in an #F5000 Lola (shown here at Kyalami in โ69), beating F1 cars.

#OnThisDay in โ80, at Calder Park, Melbourne, local hero & new #F1 world champion Alan Jones won the non-championship #AusGP in a Williams FW07B (pic). Bruno Giacomelli was 2nd in an Alfa 179, & Didier Pironi was 3rd in an Elfin MR8 #F5000 car.

Iโm sad to hear of the passing of Andrea de Adamich, who raced Ferraris, McLarens (pic), Marches, Surtees & Brabhams in #F1, Surtees in #F5000, & Alfas at Le Mans. He was 84. #RIPAndreaDeAdamich

Remembering David Prophet, born #OnThisDay in โ37. He started 2 championship #F1 GPs, in privateer Brabhams. Pic: his privateer #F5000 McLaren M10B in the non-championship #F1 #InternationalGoldCup, Oulton Park, โ72. He died in a helicopter after takeoff from Silverstone, โ81.

Remembering Andrรฉ Pilette, born #OnThisDay in 1918. The son of 1913 #Indy500 5th-placed Thรฉodore Pilette & the father of โ70s #F5000 ace Teddy Pilette, Andrรฉ (pic) started 9 GPs between โ51 & โ64. Pic taken by Graham Gauld.

Radical aerodynamics, exposed engines and even a six-wheeler - the 1970s were a frenzy of wild innovation in motorsport. #AMF #Adelaide #F1 #Formula1 #CanAm #F5000 #Formula5000 #1970S #Seventies

#HappyBirthday David Hobbs, 86, โ71 #SCCA #F5000 champ & โ83 #TransAm champ. He was so versatile, also racing touring cars, sports cars, #IMSA, #CanAm, #IndyCar & #F1. He raced at Le Mans 20 times (3rd in โ69 & โ84). Pic: en route to 2nd, #F5000 Surtees-Chevy TS5A, Sebring, โ70.

Alan Rollinson, born #OnThisDay in โ43, was 2nd to Emerson Fittipaldi in โ69 British #F3 in his own Brabham BT21B: no mean feat. He never got a go in #F1 - he drove 12 non-championship F1 races & qualified for but didnโt start the โ65 #BritishGP - but he was good in #F5000.
