I would have put it as later than Duel, but I remember the death of F1 driver Jochen Rindt which I've just noticed was a few months before the above in 1970. As a 7 year old I was apparently quite an F1 nerd, something I grew out of fairly rapidly (on discovering 'live' stock car racing and subsequently speedway locally) and have barely watched it since the days of James Hunt and Niki Lauda. My 91yo Mum still loves it.
