Grand Prix Rejects

So, it's been a very long time since I posted something outside the Perry McCarthy Memorial Forum, so I thought controversial Phoenix was going to stick his neck on the line by creating a thread about something no-one (I think) has proposed yet: your motorsport-related PC wallpapers!

I'll open fire myself by posting my current wallpaper.



Believe it or not, this beauty over here is a McLaren MP4-10, as driven by Mika Häkkinen at the 1995 British GP. That must be just about the only photo in the world where this thing looks mean and nice, so I think it's really a brilliant find.

Your turn now

This has been mine for quite a while now.

This is mine, well... I'm a Kimi fan.

This has been mine for ages now - the start of the 1970 Belgian GP!

I had a wallpaper of Vettel doing doughnuts at India 2013 (because doughnuts) but since my laptop normally doesn't let you change the wallpaper, I had to break into it to change it. It worked for a while, but my laptop nearly bricked itself, then after I got it back alive the wallpaper was black. It took me about three weeks to fix it.

For a long time, I had the album cover for Glasser's Ring. I have recently changed to this though:

I once used an Andrea Moda (or a Coloni?) as a wallpaper

I have 5 different pics rotating...







Taken by me at the Ahvenisto Grand Race.

similarly.....

Thought i'd change mine



The most memorable moment of Ricardo Zonta's career.

Apart from the first one (although there is a Fondmetal in the background) all of mine are reject-related:

I'm currently using Andre Lotterer belting it up L'eau Rouge.

Just changed to this over the weekend:

My one currently, another from 1970:

How did you find a photo from 1970 of that quality? That's amazing.

There are a lot of great quality photos from across the years (such as the one above) here.

That's the page. I have a folder full of my favourites that have been uploaded to there. The chap who does it is registered on here too (goes by the name Radomer I think) and there was a thread kicking about where we were all working to identify/date photos.

This'll be the thread that you're on about...

Nice one! So much choice for my next wallpaper.

It'll probably be Frentzen in one of the Buzzin Hornets from '99 though.
