The 1977 US Grand Prix West at Long Beach - but I am biased as a diehard Andretti fan.
The 1992 GP of Monaco was amazing with Senna blocking Nigel!

I'm fairly new to F1 (started watching in late 03) but my favorite might be the 2005 European GP? where Alonso fends of Schumacher for about 20-30 laps & still wins the race. Schumacher had a great fight going thru most of the field to end up in 2nd.
France 79 (which i've only seen the most common highlight) or Japan 05 too.
Somehow I really liked Brazil 06..
It was Michael's last.. Tenth on the grid, then the puncture, being 71 seconds behind with 50 laps or so to go and finishing something like 25 behind!
and every fight between Hakkinen and MS was good! :D
I only started watching F1 from late 90s, and from the ones I've seen, Japan 2005 is the one.
I've seen the last 8-9 laps of France 79, and do think those 2 pilots were super-human.
So many great races, but I think I would go for Monza 1969. I'm hoping that we could have a race like that this year with the 4 fastest cars.
In recent memory I can't recall any really good 'races' but for excitement then it would be races such as Jerez 1997, Spa 1998, Japan 2005 or even Europe 2007.

Slipstreaming at Monza now is a bit more difficult than it was then, though.Quote:

MONACO 1970
(alternatively any of the ones I went to in the 1960's and the 2006 and 2008 USGPs--the sight of all those cars pulling into the pits always brings a shiver.....and the 2008 US GP should be no different))
Yes, Monaco in 1982 was fantastic. There is that fantastic moment in Murray Walker's commentary where he suddenly exclaims: "De Cesaris would have taken the lead if Patrese... when Patrese... and that means to say that DEREK DALY can win this race! But Patrese could win..."Quote:
