I think the rest of us are supposed to ask you that.

This is possibly the first thread I have read where the OP immediately asks for supporting evidence!

[Equinox]

Tremendous thanks for the photos Lucas!

In case you care, the road car is chassis #069, recently removed from the USA after some legal issues with it's importation status. It wears the High Downforce Kit which gives it the look of an LM or GTR. Had you taken a shot inside, the interior is also quite similar to the LM in the way that the side seats are upholstered. Here's some shots of this car from several years ago when it first arrived in the USA - click the link below each thumbnail for hi-res:

The GTR is #06R, which raced at LeMans in 1995 and 1996 in that livery, as well as participating in the BPR series both years as well. It is currently owned by David Clark who was the Marketing Director for McLaren Cars back when the F1 was in production.

If you'd be willing to share larger versions of your F1 photos I would love to have them for my archive.

Lovely motors. I have never been fortunate to see an F1 so well done to anyone today seeing these 2. Cracking motors

They're hosted on photobucket so I doubt it.

So how/where do i get full sized originals ?

[lucas]

Slippydiff / Peloton25 send me over a pm with your email address and I will send some over. They are not massive files though as I had limited room on my compact flash so was shooting at medium jpg size with my cheapo wide lens.

I will be working some photoshop magic on them later to tweak the pics a bit later.

Hi Lucas.

Many thanks.
PH isn't allowing me to Email you at the moment (have you elected not to accept them), could you Email me and I'll try responding by return.

Regards

Tell me about it... I'm still waiting

Spookily I was just watching the Evo track test of the F1 on their website, logged on to PH forums and the first one I open is this thread.

The more I read and see these cars the more I have a yearning to own one, obviously that's never going to happen but it's been a bit of a slow starter in my dream garage list for some unfathomable reason.

I think that for me the F40 eclipsed it for my own personal desirablity if I'm honest.

Great pictures by the way, looks like it's outside the Kennels to me?

I think that it is, little enclosed area on the road going straight up to the Horse Racing Main stand.

Interesting road going up the hill and down again which then leads onto a number of twisting, smooth fast and flowing roads through West Sussex towards Surrey, you know the type of road that must be really hellish in a F1...

It must be an absolute chore to have to drive those ruddy F1'S anywhere really mustn't it!

Having had a few, how shall I put it, spirited drives around those lanes in various sportscars (no F1's though ) I concurr that the lanes around there are pure heaven. Roll on the Breakfast Club!
