Some Racing Nostalgia for some of us old gits - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

paul creed · 16th March 2008, 08:03 PM

As i've been a massive motorsport fan since i was about 12, i thought i'd post a few photos from my collection which i thought were quite evocative images.
I've sifted through hundreds of negatives/slides and period photos that i've collected over the years. Some of the below are an interesting comparison of some familiar circuits to us Skyline owners, and some of just some familiar faces.
Just thought i'd post something different for once. Too much RB overload lately.

Enjoy!! (all the photos are copyright to their respective owners and labelled as such and should be respected accordingly). I have to put that as the motorsport world take their copyrights very seriously.

I'm surprised no-one else has any input, or are none of you into some good old vintage motorsport?

frostmotorsport · 8th June 2008, 09:27 PM

I wish i could post all of them, but i dont think the bandwidth would handle it...

My obsession with racing and vintage motorsport(as it is now) has led me to some great friends, and having the pleasure of meeting a fair few of my heroes almost balances out the sadness of not meeting some of the others that passed away...
