Personal photos from the paddock Options

[Dave Ware]

Goodwood Revival 2000

Glad to see that Stirling hasn't slowed down any.

[William Dale Jr]

bigears, the top pic is definitely a B191 in the livery they started the 1992 season with (no Autopolis sponsorship).

Everyone, fantastic photos! Keep them coming!

[FredF1]

Or the cheque bounced.

[Rob Ryder]

Barry

Count me in if the thread takes off. Most of my personal F1 pics are already on FORIX but I am sure I could find some paddock shots that have not been seen.

Maybe even shots from other catagories? I would LOVE to see some personal photos from the 1976 & 77 Shellsport series or the 1978-79 AFX or F5000!

[Rob Ryder]

OK Barry, I promised to join this thread so here are a few from the early 1970's




1972 British GP at Brands Hatch and Niki Lauda (driving for March) checks his mount for 1973!




Guy Ewwards brakes his F5000 Lola T330 for Druids during practice for the 1973 Race of Champions at Brands.



1974 Race of Champions at Brands and Jacky Ickx brings his Lotus 72E back into the paddock after practice.




Just after the Ickx picture and Denny Hulme returns in the McLaren M23 (without his helmet).


I'll see how many other members contribute to this thread and maybe post a few more in December?

Come on guys, where are all your hidden gems??

[Rob Ryder]

Brilliant Alan (as usual)

[Rob Ryder]

Well spotted Ruairidh.. the Niki pic was the 1972 GP at Brands (I didn't see Twinny )

Thanks Twinny for resurrecting this long forgotten thread.. maybe a memory jogger for Jaxs, Udo K., Frank de Jong and Rob G?

As I said 3 years ago..Come on guys, where are all your hidden gems??

I am not a professional photographer, so copyrighting my photos does not bother me. If anyone thinks that my pics are good enough to use elsewhere I am delighted, and more that happy for that to happen.

One funny occurrance regarding copyright etc.. check these links..

These are two of my photos.. used on the official BRDC website without my knowledge .
I assume they 'lifted' them from FORIX?

I hate watermarks and other things spoiling images , but I do understand the reasons why some people use them .

I've looked at this thread on two different machines today, and in both Barry Boor's and Twinny's posts, all I get are those annoying little boxes with Xs in the middle. I can see all the other shots posted so far.
Barry Kalb

You could not see Barry Boor's pics because he'd removed 'em! Now they are back.. OK
Twinny's pics
I have never had a problem seeing any of Twinny's work

[Rob Ryder]

Time for a few more of mine?

Here's Jackie Stewart's Tyrrell at the 1970 USGP. Can anyone identify the mechanic driving the Car? I think his name might be Roger?
Warren

Roger Hill I think, mechanic with Tyrrell from 1968 through to 1989..
Here is another pic of him (in the car) at the 1973 International Troply.


This thread just gets better and better

[Rob Ryder]

I've been missing for a few pages, so time I made another contribution?


He looked just as good in the track


If only... if only... if only. Dream on . Jacky's Ferrari, 1972 Silverstone.


Nice car.. nice paint job. Jody's M19C, 1973 Race of Champions.

Stu, I thought it was Twin Window and not Twin Ferrari ?
GREEDY!

[Rob Ryder]

Why strange - I thought it was very dapper

[Rob Ryder]

I would say Rolf Stommelen on the left & Jacky Ickx on the right

[Rob Ryder]

Well, I've spent an hour or two in memory pitlane this evening scanning these black & white negatives from practice at Zolder 1975. Great drivers, some long gone but never forgotten. Enjoy!

Brilliant! I just B&W photos

Barry,
I seriously doubt the "biplane" Mac Laren is from 70 or 71 !!!!

My guess would be the 1969 Race of Champions.. where you at that one Barry?

[Rob Ryder]

In danger of dropping from the first page, and we need to catch THAT thread (;) Keir), so come on guys!

More excellent photos from Pedo917 , extra Twinny 'instamatic specials' .
Maybe some new contributions from across the Pond in the US of A or even Down Under?

Here is a mixed bag ... I promise to go back to pure F1 for my next set


1972 Silverstone : Sunbeam Rapier modified saloon: Anyone know the driver?


1974 RAC Rally : Croft circuit : Lada 1500S : driver unknown (but he had rolled it)


1974 RAC Rally : Croft circuit : much modified Ford Escort : driver unknown
Notice the EXCELLENT facilities at Croft the the 1970s


1976 Race of Champions : Brands Hatch : Ensign N174 (Chris Amon)


1976 Race of Champions : Brands Hatch : March 761 : Vittorio Brambilla

[Rob Ryder]

Nice one Geoff , I can recognise Stirling, Graham, Dave Charlton (behind Graham), Peter Gethin (red & white hat) and Jackie Stewart (back to camera), but who is the guy to the left of Stirling?

Thanks for the Mod Saloons Andrew, what brutes! I can still remember the Anglias, Minis, Skodas etc fitted with F2 and V8 engines! Scary, but damn quick in a straight line .

Rob

[Rob Ryder]

Another brilliant set Stu , thanks.
I especially like the 'blur' shot of Arturo leaving the pits.. that one need to be LARGE and used as a screensaver

[Rob Ryder]

Good photos Geoff, thanks

Nice to see the cantilever toolbox in the BRM pic.. I think we ALL had one

A little different from the 6 foot high rack of precision tools required now

[Rob Ryder]

Brilliant.. Brilliant.. Brilliant

Christmas has arrived early on TNF (for a Jacky Ickx fan )

Totally acceptable number posted David... I like to sip good wine and not gulp it.
Hell, It took me at least four days to savour Pedro917's set of B&W photos.

Quality photo ... am I showing my love of B&W photos ;)

[Rob Ryder]

Good to see 3 new contributors to the Paddock Club, and two with photos from outside of the UK. A warm welcome and thank you to uffen, Playlife & Farzad.

It amazes me that when Barry started this thread in November 2001 there were only two posts of photos.. one from Barry and one from me . The resurrected thread has really taken off and we are now at post #375 . Brilliant, and let's keep it going...

All of these are from the 1974 British GP at Brands Hatch.

Pescarolo's naked BRM P201


Lella Lombardi's Brabham BT42 carrying the number of her sponsors..

Go on, make the effort and cheer up a cold winter
