Not the most decent scanner I could get, but it's working. The entire article now.

Car Graphic, Issue 432, March 1997. A Track Impression according to the table of contents.
Enjoy

Thanks bucciali!

Always pleasure to see the GTRs as they were when they raced. Sadly the old imaging and printing equipment couldn't produce the colors of those LARKs so well.

But anyway I'll do my contributions on this thread as these have been laying on my hard drive for a while; starting with the old Auto Hebdo that features the 05R as it were in Jarama 1995:

Auto Motor und Sport 06/1995 featuring the 03R "West":

Auto Motor und Sport 13/1995 featuring 07R "Jacadi" among other BPR'95 racersa and BMW-Chef's accident as bonus:

And as last the supplement magazine for Altaya (IXO) LM'97 Gulf #41 scale model:



I hope none of them was a repost.

He Doc! Some great articles there, especially the Auto Hebdo.

Great shot too from the air of the Gulf GTR in the rain.


My scanner is one of those 3-in one, print/scan/copy. Scanning functionality is minimised: one button 'Scan'

Sorry I wasn't specific enough, I didn't mean to criticize your equipment, but the old cameras and films (the photographers used) and the printing equipment of the 90's magazines couldn't reproduce the pink of the LARKs correctly. Also that 05R in Philippe Charriol livery had the pink that in many pictures from those days seem to be red or orange, but not pink. Those Auto Hebdo pictures are of the better end of the scale towards the pink (especially that last picture of the rear of the car).

[bucciali]

Haha, no worries. I jsut misunderstood. I myself criticize my equipment, so.... ;-)
