Formula 1 College Project - Race Data

Post

Hi
I'm a new member on here, but have been lurking around the forums for quite a while.

I am currently in my final year in computer science and my final year project/dissertation is going to revolve around F1.
At the moment though I am looking for some help from people on here.
The first stage of my project will be to create a database of information on race results, lap times, etc.
This will all be based on the PDF documents that the FIA post online. I currently have all of the 2013 documents downloaded and organised in excel, along with the PDF documents from 2011 (thanks to a post on here), but not 2012.

I am looking to get access to other previous years PDF documents so that I can use convert these into my database.
Of course if anyone has any questions please go ahead, or if anyone would like any of the PDF, excel, etc files I can of course pass them on :)

I have a database (in sql format) of all race results (including timing when available) from 1950 to 2012. If this is something you're interested in, send me a PM.

That would be great antiuser :)

If anyone has anything they could add to this it would be great, mainly the 2012 PDF's, so I would have the 2011 - 2013 PDFs for reference, as the three most recent seasons.

Sorry PrivateUser, seem's I had my thread notifications turned off, so never seen your reply till now. If you still need any data just let me know as I have built up a large stack of data at this stage.

Also to anybody who has offered me data since posting this thread thank you, the forums here have been a big help.

Note for anybody in the future looking for data:
Also any data I needed that I was still missing, two of the best websites I found along with the offical FIA website were:
http://www.gpupdate.net
http://www.forix.com(requires a subscription but has everything you could ever want. Controlled by autosport magazine and is used by the likes of eurosport)
