Your motorsport-related PC wallpaper

Post by Phoenix »

So, it's been a very long time since I posted something outside the Perry McCarthy Memorial Forum, so I thought controversial Phoenix was going to stick his neck on the line by creating a thread about something no-one (I think) has proposed yet: your motorsport-related PC wallpapers!

I'll open fire myself by posting my current wallpaper.

Image

Believe it or not, this beauty over here is a McLaren MP4-10, as driven by Mika Häkkinen at the 1995 British GP. That must be just about the only photo in the world where this thing looks mean and nice, so I think it's really a brilliant find.

Your turn now ;)

I had a wallpaper of Vettel doing doughnuts at India 2013 (because doughnuts) but since my laptop normally doesn't let you change the wallpaper, I had to break into it to change it. It worked for a while, but my laptop nearly bricked itself, then after I got it back alive the wallpaper was black. It took me about three weeks to fix it.

For a long time, I had the album cover for Glasser's Ring. I have recently changed to this though:

Apart from the first one (although there is a Fondmetal in the background) all of mine are reject-related:

How did you find a photo from 1970 of that quality? That's amazing.

There are a lot of great quality photos from across the years (such as the one above) here.

That's the page. I have a folder full of my favourites that have been uploaded to there. The chap who does it is registered on here too (goes by the name Radomer I think) and there was a thread kicking about where we were all working to identify/date photos.

Nice one! So much choice for my next wallpaper.

It'll probably be Frentzen in one of the Buzzin Hornets from '99 though.
