In 1973 begon de betovering van het Formule 1 racen voor mij.
In voorgaande en volgende jaren had ik al wel modelautootjes (schaal 1:12) van Tamiya gebouwd waaronder de Matra MS10 (Jackie Stewart), de Lotus 49B (Graham Hill), de Tyrrell 002 (François Cevert), een Lotus 72E (Ronnie Peterson) en dus ook de eerste ‘live’ race meegemaakt op het circuit van Zolder, België. In 1973 was ik 16 jaar en ik ben ernaartoe gereden op mijn Tomos 4L brommer. Spektakel.
Toen kon je nog gewoon door de pits lopen en zodoende heb ik de handtekeningen van Ronnie Peterson, Arthuro Merzario, Clay Regazzoni, Luca di Montezemolo en van Niki Lauda en zijn toenmalige verloofde Mariella von Reininghaus.
Uiteindelijk heb ik in 1975 nog de McLaren M23 (Emerson Fittipaldi) en in 1976 als kers op de schaalmodelautotaart de Ferrari 312T (Niki Lauda) gebouwd, allebei natuurlijk van Tamiya.
In de jaren daarna heb ik alleen nog kant en klare schaalmodellen (1:18) gekocht, voornamelijk van Minichamps maar ook van Mattel (Hotweels).

Formula One can trace its roots back to the earliest days of motor racing, and emerged from the buoyant European racing scene of the inter-war years.
Plans for a Formula One drivers' championship were discussed in the late 1930s but were shelved with the onset of World War Two. In 1946 the idea was rekindled and in that season the first races were held and the following year the decision was made to launch a drivers' championship. It took until 1950 for the details to be hammered out and in May 1950 the first world championship race was held at Silverstone – the first F1 race had taken place a month earlier in Pau. Only seven of the twenty or so Formula One races that season counted towards the title but the championship was up and running. Even as more races were included in the championship, there were plenty of non-championship Formula One races. Non-championship races continued until 1983 when rising costs ruled them unprofitable. - F1 Reader
