I was very surprised at the amount of rear wing Roger was running at Silverstone

Was I following you... or were you following me

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

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)

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

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

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

Brilliant.. Brilliant.. Brilliant

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

10 days without a contribution to this thread, so here goes
All of these are from the 1974 Race of Champions at Brands Hatch.

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 ;)

Same photo twice

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.


The McLaren team hard at work


Pescarolo's naked BRM P201

Guy #1 : "Hell, it must have a small engine"
Guy #2 : "Well I can't see it"
Guy at rear : "Don't panic, I've found it back here!"

Welcome to the paddock fausto, and no incovenience at all
Nice photos with lots of atmosophere..
Rob

Thanks Fausto... now THOSE are unusual (and interesting )

More great photos Twinny, Thanks

Hey, is there any truth to the rumour that you were seen practicing for the 2005 Historic Racing (Racers ) season?




Happy New Year to you all.....

A mixed bag from 1975 and 1976 to start the New Year...

Nice Don... nice
Brilliant Mario photo

Thanks to Geoff, Don and the ever reliable Twinny for bringing some extra diversity to this thread... Keep up the good work guys

P.S. I wonder if Keir is worried yet

Bump...
My supply of photos is close to exhausted... but there must some others out there that can keep this thread running? New contributors?

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

Yeh, work can really spoil your social life.. that's why I gave it up
I look forward to your new additions (when time allows)....

Ronnie used that wide nose on the spare March 721G in Austria (No.5T). I am sure I have seen a photo of the car somewhere.... I'll check my hard-drive.

I am looking forward to them..

This one?... ...

Henk, I think David is indicating that you should try to reduce the filesize of your posted images.

As a general rule of thumb I post between 650 and 800 pixels wide, with a jpeg compression that will keep the filesize below 100kb.
Others you will notice post thumbnails with a link to the larger image

Remember our friends with dial-up connections...

Rob

Looks a little like Rob Walker to me.. stands back and waits to be corrected

Henk, thanks for posting your photos, they are much appreciated. Also the reduced size will help some TNFers ;)
Rob

Rob is talking with Gordon Murray in the last Brabham photo....

As they say Twinny, size is important , but not as important as compression! If you look at Luc's latest postings they are all 800x600, but still only 80kb-90kb because of the compression. I think you will all agree that the quality is also excellent!

I personally do not use ImageShack, preferring my own webspace, but the thumbnail/link option seems the best idea for those that do use it. For my part I aim for 640x450 images (good for a 800x600 screen) and with jpeg compression the images are usually down to 50kb-60kb.. with acceptable I clarity I think?

Rob
P.S. I think Henk has already reduced the size of his images..

Fvebr
Nice image, but the filesize is large at 250kb
I would like to see this thread remain as 'personal photos', but that is only my opinion...
Rob

Fvebr there was no need to remove the picture, maybe just reduce the filesize a little
BTW the link is to the Heuer homepage.. I have searched the site but I can't find the photo you posted
Rob

Nice pix Barry, and good to see you back on the tread you started in 2001!

Barry
Tony Brooks also had Vanwall VW5 carrying No.6 at the 1960 Glover Trophy, so dwall could be correct with the year.

My guess would be one of the Surtees TS9's of either Tim Schenken or Mike Hailwood.

Blue bodywork and yellow/white/blue top of 'Duckhams' logo on black airbox...

It must be Mike Hailwood's Surtees then
I was half correct with Tim Schenken's car... red body, but a blue nosecone

Check this...


I definitely think TS9B.. the radiator on the TS9B is just ahead of the rear wing support.
On the TS 14 seems far cleaner under the wing area.

Yes Bonde, Monza 1972... try these

Pic 1
Pic 2
Pic 3

More brilliant photos Luc ...

thanks a million...

The pics are from the TGP meeting at Jarama in 2004, so the cars would be...

#5 Lotus 49B/R10 of Junro Nishida
#9 Lotus 72E/R5 of Sean Walker

... I hope
Rob

Big John's car from the International Trophy

International Trophy

Grand Prix ;)

Thanks Anders, I just love it when hidden gems appear on this forum

I have been looking for TGP info from the late 1990s, and it is difficult to find. All I had for the Jyllandsring race was the date, 15/06/97. Now I have the name of the winner, his car, a picture, and also some of the other runners...

Theodore N183 would probably be MN-18 #34 driven by Jan Lundgardh who ran in a few of the 1997 races.

The March 821 is a puzzle as I have no records of an 821 running in 1997. Could it possibly have been an 811? Erik Rostek ran a March 811 #37 in 1997.

The Leyton House (90B?) is a complete mystery... maybe someone else will fill in the details?

Thanks again Anders.. and more if you have them

Rob

Thanks for the extra photos Anders, brilliant.

The Theodore is the Jan Lundgardh car I think, correct number and livery.

Your memory is better than my records as the March definitely looks like an 821. The problem I have with this is that it is not carrying race numbers and the logos are nothing like on the original 821. Most of the TGP/Historic guys try for original liveries and numbers. Did the March 821 actually race? Maybe it was a 'showcar' of some description?

The Leyton House has the name 'Penman' on the side, but this name means nothing to me. Also Google brings up nothing on this driver.. looks like we will need to rely on TNFers to solve this?
Rob

If it's a driver, why isn't he in overalls???

Are all of these excellent photos from Zandvoort? The first photo is definitely 1979, but Watson is in a M28C and he had an M29 for Zandvoort...


Stuck and ?... Manfred Winkelhock ?

Who this? Elio de Angelis? (Oops, just noticed you got it)

Rob

Well spotted Jeremy.. Coca-Cola on the tower and Wildcat Jeans banner over the startline

Does last weekend at Donington count as Nostalgia? Maybe not, but Rene made me feel nostalgic, and also wonder how many 'Peter Pan' pills he takes

PANIC!!!!!

It seems to have been deleted!.. I hope SOMEONE has a good backup!

Stu, I'll let you break the good news to the 'powers that be'.....

Rob

Correct Stuart.. different search criteria.. Nada, nothing, zero!

I hope it can be recovered because there was a wealth of information (visual) in that thread.

I wonder how many other threads have 'disappeared'?
Rob

Good photos Roly, thanks for posting 'em.
Are they from the 1983 Brazil GP or a test session at Jacarepagua?
Rob
