Although I don't agree that Tarquini is equally rejectful to Coloni.

Duly noted and agreed. Is that better?

Undoubtedly

Thanks midgrid! 1989 to 1996, aka the best years of reject goodness, to come, hopefully later today.

1989:

The non-reject Martin Brundle in the non-reject Brabham BT58:

A couple of the non-reject Ivan Capelli in the non-reject Leyton House March CG891:

The non-reject Mauricio Gugelmin in the non-reject Leyton House March CG891:

The non-reject Pierluigi Martini in the non-reject Minardi M189:

And last but not least, a personal favourite of mine, the reject Bernd Schneider in the reject Zakspeed 891. Very rare photo and such a shame it hasn't captured the entire car:

b59 looks like such a nice car

No wonder the LH and Minardi cars achieved some decent results, the cars looked so aerodynamically stable with their body designs. The Brabham from 1992 meanwhile... What the hell is what that front nose section?! Reminds me of the 1996 Ferrari

...see also the 1991 picture, seeing as the BT60B was no more than a BT60Y with an even worse engine and a different airbox. That pink really brings out the bulbous nose, though - it looked like it had been designed to look like the tip of a biro.

That was a Sergio Rinland thing. See also the Fondmetal GR02 from 1992, the Forti FG01 from 1995 and the CART Eagle Mk V from 1996.
The bulbous nose works surprisingly well for airflow separation.

Is it me, or the Jordan 192 looks so... bulky? :shock:

I think it looks like a longer-wheelbase 191, to accomodate the longer Yamaha engine.

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 24 Jul 2012, 23:12

i never noticed this before, but that 1990 brabham really looks similar to the 1989 zakspeed (except for the sidepods)

Love the "Italia IN - Ireland OUT" decal on the '94 Minardi. I'm guessing it's a world cup reference after Jordan altered their "Ireland" logos to read "Ireland 1 - Italy 0" following that surprise result?

Faustus · Post by **Faustus** » 07 Aug 2012, 13:33

This is a very cool photo that I was e-mailed from an ex-AGS mechanic, friend of a friend from Facebook, who is somewhere in the photo but I forgot where. It's an end of season photo, from Adelaide in 1990. I had never seen this photo before:

Barbazza · Post by **Barbazza** » 07 Aug 2012, 13:45

Some great photos again Faustus, though it breaks my heart to see Martini in MY SEAT, DAMN HIM!!!

I love the one from 1994 with what is presumably Brundle in the background, watching on after yet another happy day in his McLaren-Peugeot.

You're absolutely right.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 07 Aug 2012, 16:49

You could argue that, while the teams themselves are not rejects, some cars, like the Brabham BT59 or the Jordan 193, are, if we apply the same criteria used with the teams. Just my opinion

Really beautiful pics. Jordans are the best ones, maybe.

I count 24 in the picture. Was that the entire team or just those involved with one car?

More than likely it will be either the entire team or almost the entire team, so for both cars.

Knowing how small the team was, it's likely to be the former. I've heard Osella had something around 15 employees so I wouldn't be surprised if this was AGS' whole staff.

Here's the bigger version from F1 Nostalgia, complete with info:

Left to right (upper): Franco Scapini (test driver), Francesca Papa (Ernesto Vita's wife), Emilio Gabrielli (truck driver), Bruno Giacomelli (driver), Heinz Willi Müller (mechanic), Olivier Piazzi (mechanic)
Left to right (lower): Maurizio Ferrari (engineer), Luca Cassoni (mechanic)

They had a test driver?! I bet he got about a lap in that thing!

At least he did get to sit in the car, as seen in this testing photo taken at Vallelunga. Once again courtesy of F1 Nostalgia:

One of the lines in the description says it all:

An onboard camera! Legend has it that he had no more than 5 minutes of film in it.

Also note Giacomelli doubling as a mechanic, apparantely...

I'm quite surprised that Jacko could fit in that car seeing as he's doing a passable impression of Alan Jones. Dodgy muzzies going on there as well. (The truckie looks like Mark Lawrenson.)

Tarquini only had that one race in the Osella though didn't he? They probably couldn't afford another set of overall!

The stripy shirts for the team members are...an unusual choice.
