A friend just tweeted me this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cx500/
It's a Flickr gallery of motorsport pics from the late seventies to early eighties, eg.
Patrick Tambay in his Ferrari 126C2 at the 1982 British GP
Riccardo Patrese in an Arrows FA1-Cosworth during the 1978 British GP at Brands.
... and 431 others

Cool pics. The old ones always shock me at how poor safety was!

A few from me...
John Surtees in the Honda RA301 at the 1968 Grand Prix of Belgium
This biplane set up doesn't look very stable. FIRST racing's Brabham BT30 formula two car at the Eifelrennen, Nurburgring, April 27, 1969
Ferrari's short winged formula two car at the Eifelrennen, Nurburgring, April 27, 1969
Francois Cevert - Tecno F2 1969
Derek Bell - Ferrari-Dino F2 1968
Chris Amon battles an oversteering March 701-Ford at the 1970 German Grand Prix
Ronnie Peterson, March 701-Ford, 1970 Dutch Grand Prix, through the sand dunes of Zandvoort.
Chris Amon #8, Denny Hulme #6 and Jackie Ickx #11 racing for third place have some problems trying to lap Silvio Moser #17.
Graham Hill practiced in this Lotus 63 but raced his familiar Lotus 49 in the 1969 Dutch GP.
Chris Amon splashes under a bridge at the Nurburgring, German Grand Prix, 1968. What a great shot!
Mike Hailwood, Lola - Chevrolet T142, Hockenheim, Germany, September 1969
Denny Hulme splashes round the Nurburgring, 1968 German Grand Prix.
Dan Gurney in the Eagle Westlake V12 at the Nurburgring, 1968
Jackie Stewart calls this his toughest race, the 1968 German Grand Prix at the wet Nurburgring. Stewart started sixth, took the lead halfway through the first lap and finished more than four minutes ahead Graham Hill.
Photo taken with a Nikkormat FTN, Nikkor 200mm lens, manual focus, Kodak Ekatchrome film. In 1968, spectators could just lean over the hedge and take photos like this. The car is Ken Tyrell's Matra MS10 with power from the Ford Cosworth DFV (double four valve) running on hand grooved Dunlop rain tires.
Bruce McLaren in the rain and fog at the Nurburgring, 1968.
Jacky Ickx braking for La Source at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. Ickx is driving the Ferrari 312B at practice for the 1970 Grand Prix of Belgium.
Old Spa, what a track! Denny Hulme leads Jackie Stewart past the pub in Burnenville at the 1968 Grand Prix of Belgium, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. The pub regulars started the race by the building on the left, each lap they edged a little closer to the action. Hulme broke a half shaft and dropped out. I went home from this race thinking Jackie Stewart had won. Next day I find out that he ran out of gas on the last lap, Bruce McLaren was the winner.
Graham Hill in the Gold Leaf Team Lotus 49 at the 1968 German Grand Prix. Photo was taken on the first lap, Hill finished second to Jackie Stewart in an amazing race at the Nurburgring.
The Ford Cosworth DFV bolted onto the back of the aluminum monocoque right behind the driver. Since there was no chasis in the rear of the car, the high wing bolted directly on the suspension.
Matra Sport MS11 V12 at the Dutch Grand Prix, Zandvoort, 1968. Running on Dunlop rain tires, Beltoise finished second to Jackie Stewart earning six points toward the World Championship. He finished the season with eight points, so you can see this was his best race of the year, by far.
Graham Hill leads the 1968 Monaco Grand Prix in the Gold Leaf Lotus 49. A photo from the cheap seats at Sainte Devote taken with a Nikormat FTN, Nikkor 200mm lens, manual focus, Kodak Ektachrome film. Early in the race, Jo Siffert in Rob Walker's Lotus is running second, followed by John Surtees (Honda), Jo Rindt (Brabham), Dick Attwood (BRM) and Pedro Rodriguez (BRM).
Preparing the Honda for John Surtees, the night before the 1968 Monaco Grand Prix.
Jochen Rindt, Lotus 72-Ford, German Grand Prix, Hockenheim, Aug. 2, 1970. He died in this car a Monza a few weeks later to become the only posthumous World Champion.
Andrea De Adamich, McLaren-Alfa Romeo, German Grand Prix, Aug. 2, 1970, Hockenheim

Can I assume you took those photographs yourself?
If so you got to some legendary races and are a lucky chap.

Can I assume you have a gripe?
If so speak it and don't play silly sods.

I write on Motorsport and I'm interested in any archive like that as it contains original photos I've not seen before.
That's what tweaked my interest.
If they were yours I have a ready outlet to publish.
