OFFICIAL 1970-1989 RACING PHOTO THREAD

You could organize photo files as chapters and caption the pictures.

 

10 year old? More like 5-6 nowadays! Certainly pits my wits doing as little as I manage..

To race a car through a turn at maximum speed, is difficult", "but to race a car at maximum speed through that same turn when there is a brick wall on one side and a precipice on the other - Ah, that's an achievement."
Stirling Moss

 

LOL! It depends on how "fancy" you want it to be. For just a basic layout you can use the regular yellow computer file icons for different categories (year, team, category, whichever). I thought there was a way to add captions to photos--may need the 10 year-old for that.

 

Bonjour

Thanks for this interesting thread.
I've about 5 000 slides, mainly of Les 24 Heures de Mans.

Here're some from 1986

Bonjour Phillipe

Tres bien.

Do you have any from the early 80s, particularly the Dome from 82, 83?

B.

 

Any of the Toyota 88C or 88C-V?

 

Ooops!
You're right, it's "du".
Shame on me ;-)

I live in Normandy, at about 60 miles from Le Mans.
I've pics from 81 to 96.

Here's a french forum mainly focused on Le Mans.

My God, what a great thread!
Tifosiron: thank you for starting it, and all the other contributors: thanks as well.

I started watching F1 in the mid 70's, so a lot of these names are semi-familiar. The stories are great. (You definitely need to put them together in a book or DVD.)

 

Sorry, I've nothing for 83.
Here're the 82 car.

I'll look for the Toyota later.

Okey dokey......
