Sorry I can't remember the photo. I tend to look out for quality images on the web and when I find them download them and when I can be bothered upload them to my Photobucket thingy. I am trying to build a drivers wall in my kitchen as I have a big white wall that needs some filling and my wife also likes the old school stuff so we plan to turn it into a bit of image gallery for old school black and white racing images, which is why I have quite a few driver images.

Found it

Don't think I posted that one as I don't recognise it?

Oh thought it was you, was quite a while back. Must be mistaken.

Like most of the great images it's on the LAT site, you could purchase it from there but I warn you they know how to charge. Expect to pay hundreds for a big size print!

Can some one explain? I'm aware it's Giles, but who did the helmets belong to?

As said already, great thread Housey

Love the 70's pics. Brings it all back from my childhood. Well done

Great thread guys. Best of IMO.

My mothers ex's is Italian and his son is truly the spit of Francois Cevert. Sadly I don't have any pics of him to compare but they are so very similar.

My father ran a pub years ago that was the local for Toleman. The chap responsible for the design of some fantastic cars is in one of my earliest memories of a man passed out over the bar with serviettes notted into his hair

I'm not sure if this chap set foot in the pub but its a nice thought.

This is one of my faves, simply captures EVERYTHING right!

Thats seriously awesome.

I would love to know what camera and settings were used for this pic ? I love the kind of oversaturated look of film!

Fr0dders · 27 Oct 2009 at 23:09

camera settings ?

doubt you'll ever know that is it was taken on good old film. I suspect the only person who will know that will be the original photographer.
