Got a few of my own from earlier this year. More than these, but it's past my bedtime.

I do too, though I fear some of these are not totally "on thread"...

Even more off thread than some of those above, this is a very small ad on a wall near the pits at Rheims, taken pretty close to get the detail...

Maybe we should start a 'Judy Lyons' thread and then all of the TNF 'hotshoes' can gripe in one place :rolleyes:

David, Great thread! There are some wonderful shots in here. Thanks to everyone who has posted.

A few recent attempts, Historic GP series cars at Sears Point a couple of weeks ago.

Those last two shots of Don's show vividly how safety has moved on in F1. Impossible to have any sort of frontal impact in those without injury?

It certainly is. Makes me wish for a forum dedicated only to photographs and various eras and subjects.

Nice thread David, bravo for kicking it off! :up:

Many marvellous shots - any chance a book might be worth publishing? That's me asking as someone with no knowledge of the book business by the way so don't be too harsh on me if it's a completely insane idea...

Spotted at an American IndyCar Series race in 1993: The label above the tach says, "Smile for the camera, wave at the fans, and don't pick your nose."
