After some action shots from F1.

Ive done a search and fond 2/3 good shots hence why ive posted here.

A close friend is a semi-pro painter and she's happy to paint a painting for my office.

Size will be A3 min but im gona try and blag a A2 biggrin

I'd prefer a action shot of f1 car in particularly Mclaren / Honda F1. (Senna driving)
(but open to consider other especially battle shot)

Please feel free to post here or pm for my email add if the shots to big.

Need to give her a photo early next week as its gona take her a few days to paint.

Many thanks for your help.

What era?

Why limit it to "F1"?

Don't forget, Grand Prix racing has been going on since 1906 (and F1 since 1948).

Some of the 1930s German GP cars were amazing.

I just find it strange that people seem to think that "F1" is the be all and end all of motor racing - especially since it only arrived on the scene 42 years after Grand Prix began to be held. And loads of people forget (or don't even realise) that F1 was abandoned for Grand Prix World Championship races in 1952 and 1953.

If you are willing to go back as far as 1970, I reckon a nice shot of Peterson drifting a Lotus 72 JPS would do the trick.

No JPS Lotus in 1970 and Peterson was driving a privately entered March wink

Here's a couple of Ayrton Senna for you, the one with 'Our Nige' is one of my all time favesthumbup

Plus one of the Jordan, one of the best looking F1 cars ever (IMO of course)

I wasn't inferring that the JPS Lotus was actually in use in 1970. The OP suggested that his choice of image could be from any season from 1970 onwards. I know that the Lotus 72 was introduced in 1970 (in Gold Leaf colours) and that the JPS scheme came into use in 1972).

Always thought these were pretty cool - great shape+ great colours = great painting



PS - I know it doesn't help that the pic is B and w but the angle's pretty good - colour is basically white with red, blue and black Martini stripes

Go to http://www.Flickr.com and search for "Senna".

I'm pretty sure you would need to get permission from the copyright holders in most cases, but there are some great pictures on there.

Good luck. smile
