At eleven, I saw this very same car racing in 1972 at a non championship race in the amazing original 7 km long Interlagos circuit. Adding to my fortune, I was at the now defunct Sargento hairpin, which was heavily banked, and from the molehill in its hub, the cars could be seen almost from above, and it was spectacular. By then, I had been folowing the sport for four years, having lived throuth the trauma of losing my idol Jimmy Clark, and then Jochen Rindt. Seein Fittipaldi in real life driving this gorgeous racing car, and knowing he was fighting for the championship then was nothing short of magical.
