Those uniforms look more in place on "Bananas in Pyjamas".What?That was my favorite show as a kid.Apart from F1,of course.

Last week we went to Hamburg on holiday and visited the 'Prototyp Museum' - they don't really shout about it much there (it is fairly new) but it's well worth a visit. In the publicity information, there was no mention of F1 cars whatsoever so I was quite surprised by what we found.
Mostly it's lots of Porsches, VWs and a few Audis and Mercs plus some other German cars (though by no means all prototypes as you'd expect from the name!) but there are some F1 gems and a lovely exhibition on Wolfgang von Trips (though this is temporary I believe)

Hardly any of the following are rejects, but I thought you'd like to see them....

Image

A Porsche F1 car, not a race winner I don't think, but if Dan Gurney raced this one, then it got a few podiums.

Image

Me with a very special car indeed, I was very happy to see this!

Image

Vettel's first F1 car, the BMW Sauber.

Image

I just liked the look of this - a Lola Abarth F2 car.

Image

A reject engine!!

Image

With its reject nameplate. Unless this is a test engine, it certainly *didn't* race in 1990! And that's not how you spell 'Alboreto' either.....

Image

A model of a Bell / Ickx Le Mans winning Porsche. With what I presume is Ickx's signature, though it's difficult to tell. If it is, let's hope they didn't ask him to give a talk or anything. Judging by his Belgian GP podium efforts, everyone will have been asleep within a minute.

Image

The entry to the Von Trips museum.

Image

I've no idea what car this is, possibly a Ferrari, but it's painted in Von Trips's Scuderia Colonia (I know!!) colours. Rather nice, I think.

Image

Von Trips's Dutch GP trophy.

Image

And his British GP trophy.

There was absolutely loads of stuff in the von Trips exhibition, a lot in cases so difficult to take photos of. They really did well to tell his story though, there was lots about him that I didn't know. It's easy to forget that he was so nearly the first German F1 champion, so they're rightly proud of him.

Thanks for identifying that, Phoenix! There was nothing in the museum to give any explanation as to what it was or when (if?) it raced in anger.

You might be interested to know that an original 191 is on the market right now - according to the author of the wtf1 website, it was part of Eddie Jordan's personal collection (so the provenance can't get much better than that). http://www.mementoexclusives.com/1991-J ... Vs.twitter

I know! That and the BMW Sauber were the only 2 cars with protectors in the cockpit so you couldn't possibly get inside. For all the others, you probably could have if you wanted to, there wasn't much security that I could see, they were very trusting.

Clearly the Jordan was the only one I wanted to get in, though.

I have it, as well as many more reject pictures from that site saved on my HDD as I used them for my Reject GPM2 Mod. Including a mangificently high-res picture of Roberto Moreno's Andrea Moda in action (4632x3060 pixels!).

Found the pictures from the Coventry Motor Museum visit I made 3 years back.

Let's start off with some rally cars for a change -

Image

A classic Peugeot 205

Image

A not so classic Talbot Sunbeam! (Made in Coventry)

Image

I made no notes on these photos so this is where it gets a bit vague. This is obviously a Lotus of some sort.

Image

Um...this might be a Maserati. Or an Alfa Romeo. One of those I think.

Image

Maybe this is a Maserati - the badge isn't quite clear but looks about right.

Image

Now we're talking! The absolutely BEAUTIFUL Tyrrell 6 wheeler. I practically had to be dragged away from this.

Image

There was a question a while back on which Jaguar was in the museum. This pic isn't going to help much in identification I'm afraid! The only other one I had was from a similar angle.

To answer your questions about the 50's and 60's cars, the Lotus looks like a Formula Junior of some sorts, the red car is probably a Maserati 250F, and the blue and yellow car is definitely a Maserati A6GCM, with what looks like Argentine racing colours (or Thai, could be both).

That would make sense as my memory was that it might have been Justin Wilson's car. As it's a No.15, it probably is!

Thanks tommykl, I thought with your knowledge of old cars that you might have spotted those ones for me!

I'm pretty sure that the blue and yellow Maserati might be one of B Bira's cars actually, your mention of Thai racing colours has brought that memory back!

The image's resolution is far bigger than the biggest resolutions in current consumer monitors, so if you want the full image gimme a shout.

Fix'd. And to answer your question: state-of-the-art film cameras were (and still are) able to take sharp pictures that are very large when digitized.

The link for the Andrea Moda wallpaper is a few posts up - it contains versions for all major aspect ratios.

As for other images, I've got a total of 272MB of F1 images downloaded for use in GPM2 mods - thanks for the compliment regarding them. Considering that most of those are JPGs with filesizes usually below 100KB, that's quite a bit of pictures! :) The rejects folder alone has 219 images. I might upload them all at some point.

@Barbazza: I was at the very same museum while vacating in Hamburg, and I felt like in paradise. The exhibition may have been a bit too Porsche-lasty, but that's okay. After all, I got to see the winning 1.6l V6 turbo, and the rejectful Porsche V12. The exhibition about von Trips was also very nice. All in all, it was a very interesting visit. I just wish that THE auto racing museum would exist, even though I'd probably spend weeks there. :mrgreen:

It looks a little like Emilio de Villota (which would make sense, if this was from Spain) but the car he's driving looks late-60s / early-70s vintage to me, so maybe not!
