For anyone interested in seeing and listening to the real Formula 1 cars used by Niki Lauda and James Hunt, this Saturday morning in Tacoma is your opportunity!
Griot’s Garage is featuring a “Dual F1 Fire-Up!” at their monthly Caffeine & Gasoline beginning about 8:00am. The 1975 Niki Lauda Ferrari 312T will be there, as will the 1977 Jochen Mass McLaren M23. They have even prepared a “teaser” video for you to sample the preparations and sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlj8rAxcb0I
