Here is a Chicago contribution; unfortunatly I must have focused on the rear tire.
Jochen at Watkins Glen in 1969, driving back to the tech center after practice on Saturday.

Here's to keeping this thread alive. It's from the early '60s. Anyone guess who, what, when and where? I took the photo well over 40 years ago but I just now noticed the rag shoved up the cars' exhaust pipe and that silly excuse for a roll bar. Cheers.

Here's a gallery of me aged nearly 13 visiting the 1981 Dutch GP, using the paddock pass that my Esso-employed father supplied. Zandvoort's cramped campsite atmosphere is clearly visible from the pictures.
The 1981 Dutch GP gallery
I'll do a short write-up for the Memories section of 8W to go with these pictures.
My father also found my 1983 negatives somewhere on his attic, so I'll be scanning those shortly.

Then there's this bloke in the Catalina pits...
...and a mate of his at Lakeside...
I suspect this is the same day as the last...

Or is he explaining to Tim how if he were slipstreaming Tim, he'd get a good tow... and if Tim was trying to slipstream him he'd not get on so well?
One that's very special to me...
If anyone wants to identify the people in this, go right ahead... they're all well known. And the one in the last pic I posted (never before seen publicly...)... what about it?

btw, Was it you who jogged me?, that must be why mine is all blured
John Medley, while going through the process of finding photographs for his Bathurst book (1938 to 1973) found that one of his sources had photos identical to a number of his.
Without knowing the guy, apparently they had stood side by side taking photos on a number of occasions!
While on the Bathurst subject, there is a great wealth of detail in this photo from 1949/50, sent to me by John Butler...
Anyone know why the MG is on the trailer?

Whoops... wrong picture...
Right circuit, right date, right photographer... I'll leave the other one there as a tribute to a quiet country doctor who built his own racing cars in the thirties and forties... here's the pic I meant to post:
So now... why is the MG on the trailer? And what other detail of this pic do you think is worth mentioning? Lots of good period stuff in there...

I think the idea of this thread is for people to post photos they've taken themselves
I'd agree with that, David...
But poor old John, he's nearly 90, who's to speak for him?

That was an altogether too infrequently photographed car. Nearly as badly underphotographed as its successor... anyone?

But I'm sure someone would have come up with an answer before too much time elapsed... just roll out your 72 pics, okay?

So you don't think it's a BRM wheel?Originally posted by Udo K.
If the shots are taken at a 1000K race, then it was either in 1958 or 1959. In both years, Moss drove for Aston Martin. Only thing that makes me uncertain, is that its obviously quite cold.. In both years the weather at the 1000K was fine, in 1959 even hot.Originally posted by Pedro 917
[B]Here are two pictures from Walt Monaco's collection. Although I didn't take them, I thought they could be of some interest. They were taken at the Nürburgring (most probably a 1000 km event) in the mid-fifties I guess. Is there anybody who can tell me what year? Walt told my brother that in the second picture, Moss is trying to repair a small transistor radio. [/b
Another possibility:1960 (cold weather), and Moss visited the British camp, although he was driving for Maserati (Camoradi).

You would have loved the Wednesday night edition of the ABC2 broadcasts here last week...
The best F5000 race I saw (AIR International race, 1978) was on, followed by Alfie monstering the field in the T430 at Oran Park in 1979. Noise, movement, thunder, balls, it was all there.
Not that you can consider watching Bartlett and Walker side by side through the sweeper entering the straight at Phillip Island dull or uninteresting. As they fought to put the power down for a good run down the straight, each of them struggling for traction as the roostertails spun upward from their slicks.
Mallory be damned! Phillip Island was the place for F5000s...

His book, "Speed with Style" was exactly the man himself, at least the guy I knew!!
.....but then again, maybe he wore it as a gag??

What year was the pic?
From what I can tell it might be 74, when Chris had a brief spell with BRM, hence the Motul badge!

A shame that Goral Tecno never paned out!!
I forgot how great those late 70's cars looked, each one different from the other!!
Go figure!!
