Please could we have some captions? There are interesting pictures but many of us might not know what we are looking at.

Not to be overly pedantic, but it's actually 1965. The telling feature is Graham Hill leading from pole on the BRM P261.

These Spa 1998 pictures made me remember that during the race I thought Schumi could continue and finish the race like that. He seemed to drive the car pretty quick on 3 wheels!

but anyway;

Carlos Reutemann



In 1981 he drove a Fiat 131 in Argentina and Brazil, managing to place third. He repeated the experience four years later, driving a Peugeot 205 T16 in the Argentina Rally. He drove the same car Juha Kankkunen drove in 1986 when he won the first out of his four WRC championship titles.

Ayrton Senna



Senna hasn’t competed in any official rally races, but he tested many rally cars before winning his first Formula One title. In November 1986, when he was driving for Lotus in Formula One, the Brazilian was invited in Wales by Cars and Car Conversions magazine to test several rally cars, including a Vauxhall Nova (it was the same type of car that made Colin McRae famous), Austin Rover Metro 6R4, Ford Sierra RS Cosworth and Ford Escort. According to Senna, he took the challenge because: "I know nothing about rallying. I’ve seen the pictures in magazines, sometimes watched it on television. And I deliberately haven’t listened to anyone about rally driving. I want to find out for myself"

A 600 Hp Mecedes W125 at Nurburgring in 1937 I think, you don't want to go off just there!
