Not wanting to hijack the thread or anything, but I have a page where I uploaded close to 8000 pictures from the 1950 - 1999 period in Formula 1.

The page is called F1 History and can be found here

That's one of the most astonishing collection I have seen on internet! Would be awesome to have all in a .ZIP file but I'm probably asking too much here :oops:

Thanks a lot and I am really glad that you enjoy it. As for the last part, unfortunately yes, you are :D

It wouldn't be a problem, but once I upload a photo I delete it from my computer, so the pictures you see there aren't on my HDD anymore.

Jean-Pierre Beltoise testing the Ligier JS5-Matra V-12 in december 1975 at Paul-Ricard. The Ligier JS5 had probably the biggest airbox ever in F-1. You can see the inside part of it in the second picture with Ducarouge (sun glasses) on the right.
