Ahhh.. Nothing like an old F1 car drifting through corners.

Thanks 'Bird!

I love the lines of those cars.... The definition of "racecar" to me.

Great pictures! I liked the front engine F1 cars the most. Those 1960's era F1 cars look so tiny.

Here's another great source of some old F1 photography. From what I understand, Jesse is updating his site very soon to include a large archive gallery. So, have a look.

He also has books and prints for sale. I have a copy of his book 'Driven'... good stuff. Affordable too. Makes for a great Christmas present!

Some great photos!

BTW, I've been looking for a print of a David Phipps photo of Jim Clark. It's an overhead shot of Clark in a Lotus (Monaco GP I think) looking up at him, giving the "V" sign. If anyone has seen this, let me know!

I was just reading last night about the early 60s F1 and F2 cars. Some of the early F2 cars were only 900 lbs: the same weight as a modern Formula Vee, with much more power! :eek:
