In the second episode of our new series, Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with BTCC correspondent and Deputy Editor Marcus Simmons to discuss his favourite Formula One season - 1977.
Marcus goes in-depth on how his childhood was shaped by the sport itself and how 1977 stuck in his mind as well as the quality of Niki Lauda as he went on to win the World Championship. Also mentioned is the tragic passings of Tom Pryce and Carlos Pace over the season, the impressive raw speed of James Hunt despite his unsuccessful title defence, and Renault's debut of the device that would change the future of the sport - the Turbocharger.
