I had a FILM camera at the time (mid and late 70's) and got some sweet shots of Emerson Fittipaldi's Copersucar... and Mario Andretti's John Player Special.. and Giles Villeneuve's Ferrari... before I ran out of film (a role of 24) and finally some gendarme tossed my sorry butt out of there!
Yup used to go to F-1 LBGP and also to the Las vegas F-1 race. Would be very cool to see that footage you took. Giles V was one of my all time favs. Have a great race day!

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
