1992:

Gabriele Tarquini in the Fondmetal.

Roberto Moreno in the Andrea Moda.

Perry McCarthy in the Andrea Moda.

Bertrand Gachot in the Larrousse.

The photo of Roberto Moreno in the all-black Andrea Moda is pretty rare.

A non-reject:

Ukyo Katayama in the Larrousse.

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 00:50

From 1991:

The one and only Pedro Matos Chaves in the Coloni.

Olivier Grouillard in the Fomet.

The AGS pit. I never realised AGS had a spare car.

Not a reject, but I love this car:

Philippe Alliot in the Larrousse.

The Chaves one is the only photo of Chaves at Silverstone that I have ever seen. The AGS pit one is quite unusual as well.

You are very welcome! I've got more from 1978, 1980, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1993 to follow.

This should be sumitted to Jamie and Enoch.

But I doubt that would be done right now, considering they are working in text season review...

by **mediocre** » 04 Jan 2012, 02:37

That is simply stunning. Can you get hold of more photos of 1994?

I'm harassing my friend on a regular basis to get him to scan his photos quicker. I know he's got more and I've got some as well, including a pitlane walk video that I (or my friend, I can't remember, not the same dude from these photos) shot at the Portuguese Grand Prix in 1994. I'm going back to Portugal for a week in a couple of days, so I plan to go through the insane amount of racing stuff that is left in my old bedroom at my mother's flat.

by **dr-baker** » 04 Jan 2012, 04:03

These photos are simply brilliant.

by **Barbazza** » 04 Jan 2012, 06:22

These photos are fantastic. My favourites from the 90s are the AGS pit (naturally) and the Andrea Modas - well done on getting both there!

My favourite 80s one has to be Piercarlo Ghinzani in the 85 Osella - it looks like a shed on wheels! (Went like one as well, naturally)

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 06:54

Here we go again.
From 1993, these aren't rejects but they're nice.

Erik Comas in the Larrousse.

Michele Alboreto in the BMS Lola.

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 06:57

From 1990:

A couple of Olivier Grouillard in the Osella.

Yannick Dalmas in the AGS. Very rare photo.

Some non-rejects:

Aguri Suzuki in the Larrousse.

3 of Eric Bernard in the Larrousse.

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 07:01

From my favourite Reject year, 1989:

Pierre-Henri Raphanel in the Coloni C3. Insanely rare photo.

Bertrand Gachot stacking the Onyx against a barrier.

Stefan Johansson in the Onyx.

Eric Bernard in the Larrousse in 1989. Very rare photos.

Nicola Larini in the Osella.

Piercarlo Ghinzani in the Osella.

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 07:02

And a car that I think is beautiful!

Website · by **Wizzie** » 04 Jan 2012, 11:43

Loved the Onyx pictures, simply because it's a rejectful moment from a near-reject in a reject car :lol:

by **Jack O Melley** » 04 Jan 2012, 11:49

Again, stunning photos! Keep up loading

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 19:51

From 1986:

Piercarlo Ghinzani in the Osella.

A couple of Allen Berg in the Osella. Please note that they're two different chassis, the top one is an FA1H and the bottom one is an older FA1G.

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 19:55

From 1980:

Ricardo Zunino in the Brabham.

Ruper Keegan in the RAM Williams.
Please note that Keegan isn't in his normal Penthouse sponsored car and appears to be in Desiré Wilson's car. Could this be from the Aurora championship? My mate Chris couldn't remember.

Rupert Keegan in the RAM Williams in front of Desiré Wilson in the Brands Hatch Racing Williams.

These colour ones have a funny pinkish hue to them, because the photos have not aged well at all.

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 20:08

From 1978:

A couple of Tony Trimmer in the Melchester Racing McLaren.
Note that the livery is different and in the bottom photo the engine cover is not on the car. I think (but I may very well be wrong, please feel free to correct me) that the top photo is from the BRDC International Trophy and the bottom one if from F1 World Championship race.

René Arnoux in the Martini. Probably from the BRDC International Trophy.

Arturio (I have recently been reliably informed that his first name should be 'Arturio' not 'Arturo' and has always been misspelled in his racing license) Merzario in the Merzario.

Hector Rebaque in his Lotus. Not strictly speaking a reject car, but his team is.

A couple of Rupert Keegan in the Surtees.

A couple of Brett Lunger in the BS Fabrications McLaren.

A couple of Keke Rosberg in the Theodore. It is possible that one or both of these are from the BRDC International Trophy, but again Chris couldn't remember.

Emilio de Villota in his McLaren.
My personal favourite photo, because I had never seen a photo of this car. Very rare photo and even rarer because it is definitely from the BRDC International Trophy (Chris is sure of this one).

by **Faustus** » 04 Jan 2012, 20:18

These will be the last ones until I come back from holiday. I've got 24 more after these and I just got a text from Chris saying that he'll scan more over the weekend. So expect more when I come back.

Alex Zanardi in the Minardi in 1992. Rare photo.

Volker Weidler in the Rial in 1989. Very rare photo.

Philippe Streiff in the AGS in 1988.

Luis Perez-Sala in the Minardi in 1989.

Pedro Lamy in the Minardi in 1996.

Bertrand Gachot in the Coloni in 1990. Rare photo.

Pascal Fabre in the AGS in 1987.

Christian Danner in the Rial in 1989.

Paolo Barilla in the Minardi in 1990.

Fabrizio Barbazza in the Minardi in 1993.

Good news to look forward to. This thread isn't reject gold, it's reject rhodium studded with black diamonds.

(Yes, rhodium costs more gram for gram than platinum. Much more and we'd be into the radioactive metals that will only be salvaged from a nuclear reactor.)

by **tommykl** » 05 Jan 2012, 06:13

I've got some myself, from the Spa Historic F1. No reject drivers, but some reject cars.

The ERA D-Type, the first British F1 car.

A Connaught-Alta C-Type.

An Alta F2, a car that competed in the first Formula 1 race.

Talbot-Lago T26

The All-American F1 fail, the Scarab.

An incomplete Trojan.

The flip side of the Token.

The Wolf-Williams circa 1976. The same car driven by Masami Kuwashima.

I have this photo as my wallpaper. The Amon.

The first ever Osella. Respect.

The Fittipaldi F8.

by **Barbazza** » 05 Jan 2012, 07:33

I can't get over how many of these cars I've just never seen before, particularly the many private McLarens and the Martini.

Oh, and look up there - that's me, driving a lovely car in the rain!

It's also always good to see another picture of the Merzario which somehow looks more awful with each photo I see. In that one it's doing a reasonable impression of a London bus.

Great photos tommykl! Thanks for sharing these! I particularly like the Trojan, Token and Amon.
The ones in the pits are taken in the old pits, right? I have fond memories of those pits.

by **Faustus** » 05 Jan 2012, 08:36

Check this one out. It's been my wallpaper since 2003.
This was taken at the bottom of the old pits on the wednesday before the Spa 24 Hours in 2002 (the weekend after Arrows' last race and I was race engineering a Porsche 911 GT3-RS for a friend of a friend). I didn't take this one, my flatmate who was also there working for the same team took it. It was about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, almost everyone had cleared off and we had just arrived on the track.

This was my car:

Great find AndreaModa! And the quality of the photos is really good!
I had no idea that AGS actually tested in 1990!

Most definitely a reject design, though. Never mind Nick Wirth and Virgin, I'll wager that this was the first CFD-only designed car... and this is what results in the days when there was little more than a Commodore 64 to work with.

Don´t know, but I think it´s a F3000... Looks like one to me...

I was wrong. It´s a Ligier JS41.

Those sidepods remind me of a 1995-spec Ligier or Benetton to me. Which would make sense, considering the TWR connection and the timing of Bridgestone's arrival in 1997...
