I know somebody created a topic like this one back in 2003 but some images got deleted or lost , so i want to create a Test Photos Compilation up to 2008 (Because we all know the tests that happened from 2009 onwards). At the same time i have some photos but i searching for some pics long time ago (Like Mario Haberfeld on the Jordan or the Famous King Constantine Benetton Test in 1990)

 

I will the Start with Dario Benuzzi testing the Ferrari 312 T2 (1977)

Senna / McLaren MP4/8  Chrysler-Lambo v12 test - Sept 1993 (also tested by McLaren's then test driver Mika Hakkinen).

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder why they ran the car completely devoid of any branding or livery.

 

 

and the McLaren Mercedes MP4/11

 

 

I've seen video of him testing it at Estoril too. He obviously was obviously considered a valuable development resource that year. Would have been strange if he agreed to race in 94 though, as Ron was quite keen for him to do.

[FosterHazard]

I find it!
