The Racing Drivers

Motor racing has changed, probably more than any sport in recent times. Raymond Mays, four-wheel champion 40 years ago, regrets the passing of the "old cars" - "you could see the drivers working at the wheel then, it was a magnificent spectacle - but nowadays the best circuits in the world have been ruined because of safety regulations. In my day you made jolly sure you didn't get yourself into trouble - the drivers today should stay on the track, they're paid enough to do so!" Gunnar Nilsson, Formula 1 driver, has no desire to return to the "good old days" and sees no reason why motor racing shouldn't be made as safe as possible - "top drivers should be paid well; after all it's a living like anything else."
