My first post….

 

I am interested in updating some marque research (racing) which I did some fifteen years ago, when the ‘net was growing.

 

Can anybody recommend any reliable online web sites, specifically for the period 1935 to 1960?

 

I am already aware of the following :-

Golden Era of Grand Prix Racing

Racing Sports Cars

F2 Register

I already have the relevant Books from the Formula One Register for my period.

 

Any suggestions gratefully received.

If you have a subscription, FORIX is probably the gold standard for F1 statistics.

 

Free - but the race reports are only in French - StatsF1

 

Another sports car source: WSPR

 

Allen Brown's Old Racing Cars site

 

Le Mans history: http://lemans-history.com/index2.php

Vitesse2 - Thank you very for those suggestions.

 

Certainly some good sites of which I was unaware.

Much appreciated.

Motor Sport magazine's archives give a great insight into motor racing as it happened from the mid 1920's onwards.

Thank you for that suggestion.

I do have some bound volumes of MS, but, of course, the online archive is easily searchable, unlike my bound volumes….

It seems centered around american racing, but with GPs, late 1940s F2 and other tid bids thrown in, so..
