An unlikely pair for Imola, 1972

[Toonces]

I loved Imola before the worst crash in F1 history ruined it for the rest of us. Fast, open, challenging, heroic. I tested one vintage car (the 1992 IMSA Jaguar XJR14) and one antique (the 1964 1.5-liter Ferrari 158). The 1964 Formula 1 car feels like its on ice. The high-downforce Jag feels rock solid. I wish they'd slowed the cars down instead of adding all those Mickey Mouse chicanes and left Tamburello (and the rest of the original track) alone.
