It's a great archive of images from the past and shows how much things really have changed since the very earliest days of the sport - that's a very nice find indeed.

Nakano @ Melbourne 1997 is now my wallpaper, for reasons pertaining to the Perry McCarthy Memorial Forum.

Also, what are those rejects doing? :shock:

Poor chap driving the car.

That beast of a car probably went faster than the Lola car!

Yeah, I know the site. Altough the guy thinks I am stealing the photos from him. I explained him that for some photos we have the same sources. That was proven by the fact that some of my photos were uploaded first. (I checked the dates). Secondly, some of my pictures are larger in dimensions. It would be great if he wanted to cooperate but I don't know if he wants that

I don't feel sorry for Rosset because everyone knew he was crap, and he went on to confirm that at Tyrrell in '98. I do however feel sorry for Sospiri, it was his one chance at an F1 drive and it was a massive failure for reasons that were entirely not his fault. His career was probably ruined by the Lola car, even if arguably he'd only end up being midfield at the very most in F1.

I remember hearing that Ken Tyrrell was very pissed off when Craig Pollock chose Rosset to drive for Tyrrell in 1998, as Ken wanted to retain Jos Verstappen. Rosset was also the only driver to DNQ in 1998, and done it 5 times. No wonder Ken Tyrrel was pissed off.

And yes, I agree with your sympathy for Sospiri, as he never had another chance.

There are some good pictures on that site, though I did stumble across ones of Roger Williamson and Tom Pryce which were....not so nice.

Which track is it? It looks like Spain but someone told me its Austria. It's 1981.

I will make a thread about "finding the track" in some pictures

The car looks more like 1971. But I assume you just made a typo.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 16 Jan 2013, 12:19

I'll take a punt and say the track in question is Kyalami.

EDIT: Moving the thread to the Jean-Denis Délétraz Forum.

I hope so. I want to be 100% sure. I also don't know the trakc in this picture:

(brm-1973-regazzoni)

Barbazza · Post by **Barbazza** » 16 Jan 2013, 19:34

No idea on the 1971 picture but could that one of Regazzoni be from Interlagos perhaps?

The sponsor from the back will help. I don't know. Any video from interlagos having this sponsor?

If this was in 1971 (which is what I assume you meant), Ferrari only used the 312B, which was launched back in 1970, for the opening few rounds that year whilst the 312B2 was finished up.
Andretti had that car for the South African, Spanish, Monaco and Dutch GP's - it's obviously not Monaco, and it can't be Zandvoort since Andretti had No. 4 on his car for that race. The 1971 Spanish GP, meanwhile, took place at Montjuïc Park, and this doesn't look like that circuit (the sponsorship looks wrong), so it must be Kyalami.

It is a little confusing, since the airbox looks like it is off the P160D model - however, it has to be the P160E because the car is clearly No. 19, and none of the races that Regazzoni did with the P160D were with No. 19 on his car. That would seem to rule out the opening three races in Argentina, Brazil and Kyalami - I think, going by the colour of the barricades (red and white) and the dessicated, sandy nature of the track in the background, that a better bet might be the 1973 French GP at Paul Ricard.

I agree with Mario on both counts.

Radomer, here's a good source for 2007 photos.

Tommorow I will upload more. In that way the thread will be rich and beautiful. And at the same time i will organize my photos in the best way

I have all the pictures in very large dimensions (over 1600x1200)

Well, since I have a netbook, it would be helpful (for me, at least) if you could upload them in a smaller size

1) 1972 British GP (Brands Hatch).
2) 1972 Argentine GP (Óscar Gálvez).
3) 1971 French GP (Paul Ricard).
4) 1981 Belgian GP (Zolder).
5) 1983 British GP (Silverstone).

You are the best finder on the net !! Do you have an archive of photos? I mean , we can exchange.

Here is one of my favorites:

It's a Westland Wessex, also known as the Sikorsky S-58 built under licence from Sikorsky.

1. 1988(89?) - Possibly Paul Ricard
2. 1987 - Possibly Imola pitlane exit. Seen many shots like that at Imola.

It would be '88 as Piquet had the #1 on the Lotus, I thought it could have been Spa perhaps?

I'ld say it's the Hungaroring, but I'm not 100% sure.

The second is Imola? The first is Hungary. I found another picture from there. You are legend. I can't believe you found them all. You helped me a lot. I now have less to find their tracks.

There is no Pemex sponsorship, and autumnal foliage is visible in the background, so I would say Watkins Glen 1980.

This looks more like Montréal to me (exit of the current Turn 2).

That banner in the background might give a hint... "Ferrari Club M??les". Anyone have any ideas?
