Thanks James, I've added them in (until you posted more that is!). Might have to divide it up into sections like detail walkarounds, action shots, etc. Will let things develop over time. All suggestions and links welcome!

Please post motorsports references and links here and we'll add them to the reference sction stickied at the top of the forum. Thanks for sharing everybody.

I found this page hidden in www.nissan.co.jp while looking for info about NISMO GT-R LM.

Note: You can access the original photos by replacing the URL suffix of GIF data from ".GIF" to ".JPG".

Thanks Alex, that one is a beauty. Although for some reason several links that use to be active have been removed :confused: I definitely remember the Lancia Delta pictures.

Well, i found the link here in an old thread. AF is really THE place to be !

Thanks campenr.1 and Cychalen. That Nissan one seems to be pics from 1995.

Here you have a Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge that I stumbled upon in Stockholm. http://niclasproos.fotopic.net/c200494.html

Awesome Niclas, you took the pictures yourself?

http://www.carclassic.com/ Car seller, sometimes nice cars and race cars walkaround pics.

http://www.fast-autos.net/photoarchive/ Some nice pics can be found in the event reports... Check the users galleries too...

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.mv Same as above... Both road and race cars...

http://press.nissan-global.com/EN/PHOTOGRAPHS/motorsports.html For having hi-res pics of this year's JGTC Nismo Z!

http://racequeen-photogallery.com/racing/ Some nice in-action JGTC pics from 2003-2004

http://racingsportscars.com/ Nice site to find ideas or to know precisely which car for which race... historical pics.

http://scaleautosport.com/race.html Some nice walkaround pics made during events.

http://www.speedarena.com/ Info site. Some recent pics from DTM, ALMS,(...) races.

http://962.com/ The 962 reference site. Sometimes, a nice walkaround...

http://prototyp.org/links/ I'm not sure all the links are still working. But can be a nice start for Endurance racing cars searching... Nice paper-models too!

http://www.astonmartins.com/racing/index.html A personnal Aston Martin site. Just to tease... AM models are quite difficult to find... :(

(The best thread ever seen on AF! Thanks Layla's Keeper!!!! :eek: )

Open-minding, isn't it?

One suggestion for this thread!

Edit out all kinds of comments and only leave in the posts with links.

Comments are appreciated very much but later on in the use of this thread in looking for certain refernece pic sites they will make a search very complicated.

Don't worry, be happy! :smokin:

The links posted here will be organised and then put (if choosen) in the Motorsports Reference Archive (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=260312) by RallyRaider ... The comments are here to help him a little... I hope! :rolleyes: :D

Awesome Niclas, you took the pictures yourself?

Yeah! Borrowed my wifes Minolta and got back before they left. Unfortunatly I couldn't stay long enough to see and hear it roll out and up in the trailer :mad: But atleast I got some good referens pictures.

Thanks for all the links guys, it will take me a while to organise them all. On that subject do you approve of the way I've started on the stickied thread? Any suggestions on how to make it better? I guess as we slowly get more and more links it will require a major rethink. So what do you want to see?

Here's a list of reference sites that I've been using specific to the Corvette C5-R. Note that many of the pictures span several years and races, so they're not neccessarily all of the same car:

Ok, now I see where I should have posted them in the first place :)
Me dumb :banghead:

No harm done Sennake, you can post cool links like that one anywhere :) Besides,your friendly neighbourhood moderator is here to tidy up.

Just have a look at the Allard J2X story. :D

Very interesting site François. The J2X was one mean looking machine.

Don't know if these pictures are any good as a reference, but at the very least you can enjoy them just for fun :)

These are taken at the friday practise at the Belgian GP F1 in Spa-Francorchamps. Enjoy!!

Great pictures, Guy. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing them. (what camera do you use? the pics are so sharp....)

:eek: Full grid!!!!!

The only one who's missing is Briscoe... Maybe he had already crashed his Toyota when you took the pics... :D

:thumbsup:

Edit: Damn, I'm wrong! It's Panis who's missing!!!!
I found that funny because in France, during the TV retransmissions, there's a game: 3 times during the GP, you must tell which are the 3 firsts of the race... And my brother & I changed the rule into: give the position of Olivier Panis in the stand... :screwy::lol: Poor Olivier!

Great pictures, Guy. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing them. (what camera do you use? the pics are so sharp....)

I use a Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom. I have it 3 years now and I'm quite pleased with the results :)

It's Panis who's missing!!!!


That is correct, but not because I missed him, he simply didn't come out today. I don't know why, he just didn't show up today :(

Thanks Sennake. Think we might have to make you your own section of the archive :D Huudo too!

Thanks Sennake. Think we might have to make you your own section of the archive :D Huudo too!

Our camera's are just "trigger-happy" :iceslolan

In the meantime I have gathered all the F1 pics in a webpage, which is easier to look up later-on. The correct URL is : http://users.pandora.be/sennake/reca_f1_2004.htm

PS : the top-3 are not known yet at this time since the race itself is on august 29th...

Once the race is finished I will complete the page of course :)

Ok, I have been updating my webpage a bit more and I thought you might be interested in the following items :

All the Le Mans winners from 1949 up to today (pics of the real cars + pics of the models : http://users.pandora.be/sennake/moca_lm_menu.html

All the F1 World Champions from 1950 up to today (pics of the real cars) : http://users.pandora.be/sennake/reca_f1_wc_menu_n.html

All the Rally World Champions from 1976 up to today (pics of the real cars) : http://users.pandora.be/sennake/reca_ra_wc_menu.html
