I could be wrong but I think that this predates F1 and would have been GP which was the forerunner to F1 - not that it matters - fabulous pic |

I searched 'First F1 race' and a variety of pics turned up, some were definatly not f1, but this one of them and looked like it might be. Doesnt mean its f1 but too cool not too. |

Just found this footage from the Beeb of the first F1 race held at Silverstone www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/formula1/52641917Well worth watching note the hay bales separating the 100 mph race cars from the spectators and the royal boxes fabricated from scaffolding & plywood along with a leather cap for driver head protection ! |

Fixed it. This is from the first F1 Season. I think  I have limited knowledge of f1, and I may currently have my wires crossed, but I think the first F1 GP race was in 1946 in Turin, but the first season was in 1950. The previous picture may be from the first f1 race in Turin. |

This is the F1 I'm bothered about. Motorsports history and proper legends. And the coolest traffic jam ive ever seen! |

In 1976 the BBC refused to screen F1 races whereby it hadn't had a problem screening the sport in previous years - the Beeb considered the sport 'Not appropriate for family viewing' at the time - it didn't prevent them from screening F1 in the years to come however - so what was real problem then - well John Surtees signed a sponsorship deal with 'The London Rubber Company' for 76' and LRC manufactured and marketed a certain branded product  John Surtees pictured here with Miss England Vicki Harris unveiling the 76' F1 car - A visible 'Durex' sign on a F1 car from a condom manufacture was a bridge way too far for the Beeb's liking (funny how 20 years later with the massive onset of AIDS that advertising of such products was prolific & acceptable in all formats of advertising media)  |

Agreed but which version they were straight six engines & V12's Red ones driven by Fangio :-) That would be the early cars before Fangio left Maserati to join Mercedes Benz - these were fitted with straight 6 - 2.5 litre - 220 BHP engines the later cars from 1956 were available with a V12 - 315 BHP engine although had little advantage over the straight sixes - but a V12 250F belting down the straight on full beans on a sunny Goodwood Revival afternoon is both a sight & sound to behold I can tell you - something that I'm very much going to miss this year   |

Many years ago (~30) I visited Schlumpf museum/collection in Mulhouse and one of the most vivid memories is of the red 250F in amongst the sea of blue Bugatti's and how good it looked.

Ah - These (I think they have had reshuffle since you were last there - this pic is 2018) Just a bit, when I went it wasn't long after the Schlumpf brothers fled. In fact it was 1990 found some photos (apologies for the slight thread diversion but there is a 250F there.   Would love to visit again, was a good road trip there as well non-stop from the ferry in a Citroen BX 16v.
apologies for images iPhone shots of a photo album (remember them). One of the cars is a childs car and the 250LM is there as I had a Corgi model.
I don't suppose pre-war Bugatti type 35B's count as F1.

I like the Connew, for the truly heroic amateur effort it was.  This is a good read www.connewf1.com/ |
