I'll try Patrick Depailler

The Williams is ca. 1992, Damon Hill I'd assume. He used to be a test driver then and I think that's the reason why there are no numbers on the car.

The Brabham in the lower picture never existed and is a fake I'd say. It is the 1986 ultra-flat model altered into an 8-wheeler.

6-wheelers were already banned for good in 1983, dunno if 8-wheelers where a loophole but since Bernie was in charge of Brabham till 1987 I severely doubt he would have approved of this project. Williams had built a car with 4 rear tyres in 1982, but it wasn't used in any F1 race. Iirc the only other car ever built with 4 rear tyres was a March prototype in 1977, also wasn't used in racing.

are you sure its hill, his helmet is different, and i cant see his dark hate filled eyes, dont think its him

Posted by: E.T Dec 9 2003, 1429

Its definitely 1992..but Damon Hill used the rowing club helmet even in his motorcycle days... could it be gil de ferran..didnt he do a test for williams too ?

[QUOTE]The Brabham in the lower picture never existed and is a fake

your right about the brabham Purolator
i found it on the web somewhere thought it looked funny.

i dont know who's driving that i just put in my signature slot for a laugh

The driver in the Williams is Al Unser jr. in 1991 (in the fall testing i think)
Frank said Al smoked too much.

A little awkward with no colour

Posted by: Don Speekingleesh Dec 10 2003, 1413

It's Hakkinnen. Looks like he's testing one of the last turbo Bennettons.

Posted by: scar Dec 10 2003, 1710

Yes its the Hakk.
I was surprised to see him in the Benneton.
I'm getting rid of this signature i hate seeing the same pic over and over

Posted by: Panisfan Dec 16 2003, 2214

Stumped on this one scar. It must be an Alfa, at that time frame they occupied cars 22 and 23, but I dont know of any Alfa lookin like that. Oh well, since I suck at researching.......this ones out there for me...

Posted by: troll Dec 16 2003, 2323

I think its an Osella FA1G..around 1986-

Posted by: troll Dec 17 2003, 0017

an easy one ..also name the two cars in the background.

Posted by: E.T Dec 19 2003, 0325

Phil Hill in the Sharknose Ferrari 156 -got to be 1961 Monaco.
The other 2 cars...hmm...Bonnier and Gurney in their Porsches?

Posted by: scar Dec 19 2003, 0329

You right Troll Osella 1986
Its Allen Berg from Calgary the only non villeneuve canadian driver to compete in F1

Posted by: scar Dec 19 2003, 0330

Posted by: troll Dec 19 2003, 0421

Right you are E.T... Yes on the Porsches also... I thought the shot of the Ferrari was one the best ones I have ever seen. Beautiful car, beautiful color,working a hairpin, a superb driver at the wheel. Nice race shot.

Posted by: troll Dec 19 2003, 0435

The livery on the Jaguar seems to be a 2001 R2..dunno who the driver is..cant find the helmet pic anywhere..
Speaking of helmets....What usually happens to them? Charity auction, collectors, personal keepsakes for driver & family I suppose. But I bet they bring some huge sums at auction. Anybody know?..

Posted by: E.T Dec 19 2003, 1703

Its from when Tomas Scheckter was Jaguar test driver. His helmet has the south African tricolours on the side and a checkered design on the top.

Posted by: scar Dec 19 2003, 1926

Right ET
another one..

Posted by: troll Dec 20 2003, 0153

I'll go with: 1993 Footwork FA13B...Mugen-Honda..possibly it's Derik Warwick driving..

Posted by: JRHARV Dec 20 2003, 2033

Berg was not the only non-Villenueve Canadian to drive in f1
check your f1 rejects site for more

Remember Ikcx or Scheckter drove a Canadian team Wolf car, so Canadians have been around the f1 arena many times

Posted by: E.T Dec 24 2003, 0633

Ah...nice one.

1.Walter Wolf Racing so its the Wolf Cosworth car.
2.Jody Schecker raced and won in # 20 so it cant be him.
3.In 1978,last 2 races Wolf also ran another car with Bobby Rahal as # 21.
4.Its either the Watkins Glen race or the Montreal one.



In other words.. Bobby Rahal -Wolf Cosworth,1978 either WG or Montreal.

Posted by: Don Speekingleesh Dec 24 2003, 1155

Is it de Ferran testing the Footwork?

Posted by: JRHARV Dec 24 2003, 1219

based on Armcos I'd say the Glen

Posted by: E.T Dec 24 2003, 1235

Yeah youre probably right JRHarv.

Posted by: scar Dec 24 2003, 1938

Bobby rahal in the Wolf at the Glen is correct and Gil de ferran in the Footwork

Wasn’t there another Irish driver Donally?? he drove for Lotus and the only real thing I can remember was him having a massive off at Monza and getting separated from the car and lying at the exit of the parabolica strapped to his car seat? By the way this is from a list on page 2-3?

pete

Posted by: purolator Jan 17 2004, 0636

You mean Martin Donnelly, jcreator? Yes, he had a gruesome accident, suffering from multiple fractures, but it wasn't Monza, happened in Jerez. Iirc he's from Northern Ireland.

Posted by: BDC1001 Feb 8 2004, 0621

Here's a pic of the Donnelly crash.
