Interesting seeing that Tommy Hilfiger, if it wasn't for Mercedes/Hamilton nowadays I wouldn't have even noticed

They sponsored Ferrari as well in the late 90's. But their logo was on the mirrors, which isn't the easiest place to spot.

It's true, they've grown a lot over time

LucasWheldon · PostPosted: Sun Apr 19, 2020 3:00 pm

if you see the part that had the most increased growth was the front, most precisely the part they focus more to get more downforce, that's where the problem lies

funny that once I was reading a review of the Porsche 917 and the reviewer was amused on how small the car is, although on photos it looks massive

Eric van de Poele in 1992 at Spa

Andrea Chiesa in 1992 at Monaco

such as the Minardi with the classic black livery

I always loved the '93 McLaren.

Just love the front of the car.

We are now so used to cars with high cockpits and head protection, that it is always a shock to see how little they were protected not so long ago. You can see his arms. A hit from the side and it's bye bye cervical vertebra.

How on earth do they manage to pivot these modern F1 cars around corners, with a wheelbase that long?

Anyway, I absolutely love how this page is doing, so let me contribute to some early 1990s sweet sweet love:

some Monaco pics provide great material to this thread

I always liked this one

that AGS was such a beauty, too bad it was one of the slowest on the field

perhaps that livery inspired to those Alonso sports nowadays

The hairpin curve was really high!

Avus banking looked like a real sized scalextric track

Tell that to Richard von Frankenberg.

Everything about that is beyond nuts.

the madness at Avus or old Spa or nordschleife doesn't even gets near the board tracks that were built in US back in the 1910's and 20's

at least the cars of that era weren't that powerful, because some tracks had 50 degree banking on wood

And make a second race where they run the track backwards.

Olivier Grouillard in 1990. Not sure on which track this is though?

Roberto Moreno, same place
