Rothmans Porsche Team during promo for the 1984 WSC race at Sandown Raceway. For any locals like myself, this is on Dandenong Road. I can't even imagine these driving down a road that I've gone a countless amount of times. Very cool.

Brundle & Senna, Snetterton, 1983
During their famous fight for that year's British F3 crown which Senna eventually won by a very small margin. Both competed in Ralt-Toyotas; Brundle drove for Eddie Jordan Racing whilst Senna drove for West Surrey Racing.

I've seen this pic many times before but it still boggles the mind. I'd love to know where they started the journey, what speed they were limited to & where they stopped.
I don't imagine they would've liked sitting at a red light for a few minutes.

Phil Hill leads his teammate and boss Jim Hall in their Chaparral 2Es to a 1-2 finish in the Monterey Grand Prix at Laguna Seca in 1966. This win is the only victory that the Chaparral team had in their storied participation in the Can-Am.
The dominant McLaren M8Bs of Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme leads the Chaparral-run McLaren M12 of John Surtees and Chris Amon in the Ferrari 612P during the Can-Am visit to Watkins Glen in 1969.
Jumping across the Pacific for Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway 1969. The trio of Nissan's R382 Group 7 cars makes their way around Fuji's hairpin while a pair of Toyota 7s gives chase.
Vic Elford in the pole-sitting Chaparral 2J lead Peter Gethin's McLaren M8D in the Can-Am season-finale at Riverside in 1970. This race is also the final competitive outing of the 2J due to rule changes which outlawed the innovative "fan car".
The turbocharged Porsche 917 sits in the front 2 rows for the Road Atlanta round of the 1973 Can-Am. Mark Donodue took pole in his Sunoco 917/30 but finished 2nd to George Follmer in the RC Cola 917/10.

I absolutely love those Williams Hondas. Beautiful shape to the cars, and the color scheme is so pleasant in my opinion.

1950 Italian Grand Prix
Winner: Nino Farina ITA
Car: #2 Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta (1.5L supercharged Alfa Romeo I8)
The title decider. Fangio led the championship heading into the final round ahead of Luigi Fagioli and Nino Farina. He suffered a double retirement, he shared a drive but even that car failed, with Farina's victory enough to see him snatch the title at the very last.
Farina on his way to victory.
Farina leading Fagioli.
Of note is the #22 car of Clemente Biondetti. His self-built Ferrari 166 was powered by a 3.4L Jaguar I6 and it is the only time a Ferrari entry in F1 was not powered by a Ferrari engine.

In my opinion, few things can be sexier than Ferrari's LM Boxers. From the 1978 24 Heures.

Is that Mini's right front tire grinding against the wheel arch or am I just seeing things?

A bonus image I found looking up the Maserati 250F for the Best Looking threads:
1957 British Grand Prix
The Maserati team's 250Fs in the pits at Aintree. I thought it was a cool picture because it's not just the 50s in colour but also "behind the scenes".
