    ^^ That Alfa is so bad ass, i remember racing with it in the old Gran Turismo games and the exhaust looked glitched since it was so large (and the graphics were obviously quite poor)
    I think I just really like everything in the 80s and 90s. I don't know why since I wasn't exposed to most of it. I watched whatever NASCAR I could when I could get over to my grandparents' house since they had satellite, and I watched whatever Indycar or CART or whatever it was then that they showed on CBC. CBC might have had F1 then too if there were any races in Canada. And that was it.

    It is the era right before tech and safety took over a large part of most of these cars. The raw nature of the Group B cars and old touring cars is what dreams are made and I would love to have a garage full of old race cars and homologation specials.

    Yeah I guess you're probably right. I'm pretty interested in Group C when they were kicking the shit out of that long straight at Le Mans.

    Anyway, here's a picture of Dale Earnhardt storming the beach at Normandy in 1945.

    A neat picture I found of Josh Brookes (#11) and I think Richard Wilson (#41) on 1992 Norton RS588 rotaries at Ballacrye on the Isle of Man in the 2017 Classic TT.

    Here's a couple old motorbike pictures I saw recently and liked.

    This looks like early 90s NASCAR. It might be a screenshot from Days of Thunder.

    I was thinking about old tobacco liveries the other day so I decided to chase some of the not so obvious ones down. Although 3 of them ended up being Marlboro, so maybe I wasn't that successful.

    Nicky Hayden, MotoGP, not sure of the year but 2009 I'd guess. 2009 was his first year with Ducati and I can't imagine the Marlboro logo stayed on much longer than that.

    John Kocinski and Wayne Rainey, 500cc World Championship (the predecessor to MotoGP). I'm not sure of the year either, but I think either 1992 or 1993 since Rainey has the #1 plate.

    Keith Huewen carrying onboard cameras in 1983. I can't imagine this would have been during a race but I don't know much more about it. I just saw it on Twitter.

    Because we're going with the theme of old cigarette sponsors and the new 911 Dakar is coming out, here is the original.

    I really wanted to see Vipers on the race track, but I never managed to get the time to do so. Many of the cars are retired now, maybe I can see some at a vintage race one day.

    I haven't bored anyone shitless with motorbike content lately, and I've been boozing so fuck it. Mick Doohan, Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz riding on a Ferrari. Also goes with the theme of tobacco sponsorship from a while back.

    Here's some more pictures. You're probably saying, "I bet it's more motorbike pictures even though we all hate motorbikes, isn't it you piece of shit?" And I'll say yeah, of course it is, and even though I know my audience I've been boozing so I'm going to take a chance. Here's some pictures of Dr. John Hinds. "Who the fuck is that, you piece of shit?" Well, he was a Northern Irish doctor who worked supporting road races in Northern Ireland. Bike racing in Northern Ireland takes place on closed public roads. As a result or a side effect of that, the courses are quite large, several miles long, which means they are too long for ambulances and too short for helicopters to have significant effect. So a team of doctors would be dispatched on motorbike to tend to injured (or worse) riders. Dr Hinds was one of these doctors. I don't know why he was the most well-known, since I got into road racing in 2019 and he died in 2015 at Skerries. But the pictures are fascinating to me. You've got the racers going 180mph down public roads, and then you've got the doctors following behind with 50 pounds of equipment following behind. There's a list of riders that would be dead now if the flying doctors weren't on course to provide care before an ambulance could get there, and I thought I should post some pictures.

    Jarno Saarinen, with his wife running his pit board. Not sure of the year, 1971 or 72 probably.
