Another couple of cars which I think look more fantastic with the passing of time, again from about 10 years ago:

The car that could've should've revolutionized F1, the Lotus 88

Posted Image

A great write up on the 88 by Lotus insider Peter Write.... highly recommended reading. :)



Stunning - the engineering spirit in the end of the 70s, beginning of the 80s was second to none. In a way these cars look much more modern than anything that has graced the circuits ever since. Sad it was not to be....

It's Kimi, Schumi, Massa and Webber? Or Heidfeld?

Great shot, amazing how similar the 2005 Sauber and Ferrari were, wasn't that Sauber the one that everyone said was basically a warmed over F2004? Imagine if that was the finish line on the last lap...

Here are some more, I just love the cars of the late 90s/early 2000s, especially the combination of Schumacher's red helmet and that bright red Ferrari :)

Thank you G12. As I said there will be more. Unfortunately the only venues I shot F1 were Long Beach, Caesar's Palace and Montreal, and only a handful all together.

I have plenty of early stuff of Gilles in my Gilles and Atlantic sets if you're interested.

Jealosy is an unpleasant trait in people I know, but I'm turning rather green at the wonderful experiences you must have had watching and snapping these pics of GV. Not only are they great photos, they are for me a wonderful insight into of his early career. May I offer a rather humble well done, and thank you for sharing.

And Cardenas :up: what is the fighter? I'm assuming the track is Avus therefore it should be a Messerschmidt or Focke Wolfe but don't recognise the wing shape.

I think the that this photo it's not from avus, it's from the speed week, by the looks of the car i'd say 1937.

The reason why the fighter is there....i have no clue. Sure i'm wrong, but maybe the car and the fighter had the same engine. :confused: :confused:

I wasn't around in the day, so I'm afraid these are all recent shots, but the cars still look amazing. Were the early cars so big so those brave souls could store their balls inside...?

It would make sense the engine manufacturer for the plane was also Mercedes like a lot of German prop fighters. The 3 pointed star Mercedes logo, I'm led to believe, represents the company's dominance of Land, Sea and Air transport. I don't believe Mercedes ever actually made fighter planes though, at least in that era.

Some of these pics are truly unbelievable. Just imagine where were the photographers to be so close to the cars.
And no need of weird angles, blurry effects or photoshop, the cars, the track, the scenery, were enough to do a good pic.

The two pictures show the October 1936 Rekordwoche on the Frankfurt/Darmstadt autobahn, the car using the 1936 GP chassis but fitted with a 5.6 litre V12 motor giving approximately 600 bhp. It managed three new records including 227.99 mph over 1 mile. I'm not an aircraft authority but somebody better informed on here will know chapter and verse for sure about the plane.

The similar but larger 1937 record breaker used basically the same motor developing more power but fitted in a 1937 W125 chassis. It had a more pronounced nose and a much larger 3 pointed star painted on the front and suffered from air building up under the front of the car at circa 245 mph to the degree that all feel in the steering was lost! Thereby hangs a story for another time.

In the picture of the Mercedes being push started note that the aluminium nose of the car and air intake have been severely dented and distorted by the air pressure at over 220 mph. Nevertheless they are still going to have another go! Incidentally the earlier pic in the thread of Rosemeyer is from the 1936 Swiss GP, the stone setts of the Bremgarten circuit visible in the background and the no.4 race number.

Re headrests; Im sure it wasn't easy but the cars weren't generating anywhere near the Gs they would be 10 years later. Neck injuries in a rear-end accident don't bear thinking about however.

Linked to the very early racing pictures further up this page, may I pont you in the direction of Jacques-Henri Lartrigue's 'Car Trip, Papa at 80 kilometers an hour'? I am sure most readers will have seen this before, but for me this is not only one of the great racing photographs, but rather one of the greatest photos of any kind ever. Stunning when you think about the science and technology of photography in 1913. A very subjective view I know, but I just love it and it stops me in my tracks every time I see it.
