Here's 14 laps of fury thanks to today's F1 Time Machine. Just 14 laps, you say? You might think we don't have a full race this time. Well, this isn't the "ladies' tee" called the German Grand Prix of today - this is when men were smoking in the pits and wore glorified Dickies called "firesuits." This is when they still fought all 14+miles of the widowmaker called the Nurburgring. This was also the first race that the FIA ran with limited advertising for all cigarette brands. For the next German GP it was banned completely, but would return in 1999 only to be banned forever in 2006.

Your pole sitter for today's race is the great Jackie Stewart. No commentary.

SPOILER ALERT: This is the final victory of Jackie Stewart's 27-win career.
