60's vs 70's World Series
In Response To: Heuer 60`s or 70`s ()

Very good question Amer.

I thought I'd run a little tournament to see the answer.

The first quarter final is the Autavias...

That one the 1960s version wins quite easily.

-------------------------------------------------

Second quarter final is the Carreras.

This one from the 70s:

against this one:

This one is a very close game... but I think the 60's shades it (just)

----------------------------------------------------

Third quarter final is the Monacos:

versus the 1970s champion:

Very tough decision. These days in sports, money talks (ask the US World Cup bid team), so let's say the 1970's win the $75,000 question, in extra time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The fourth and last quarter final is the Silverstones

This one:

versus:

...err, OK that one was a walkover for the 1970's as the 1960's challenger didn't show up.

Not sure how the semi finals will shape up. Any opinions?
