![]() ![]() Luckily I have kept the details of the people and occasionally ask them for any rareities. I managed to purchase DVD packages on ebay during 2005, there were people selling their back catalogue before Bernies gang caught wind of things and threatened to take them all to court. I used to tape every race on VHS from about 1990 but then stopped around 1997. I have EVERY race from 1977 on DVD up to the present day. One day I will get a DVD recorder and convert them hopefully Then next week was USA we all know what happend then but due to another mess up I missed the pre-show and only when just before the race I moved it to sky did it work. Those problems started when for the first part of the season our TV was dodgy then just before the race in Canada the tv packed up so due to not knowing the tv well I messed up the recording and do not have Canada 2005 on tape. Out of all the years I have been taping 2005 was the year where I had the most problems. I am missing a few races though the end of USA 2000 the whole of Canada 2005 and Germany 2006 but for Germany I have got the highlights program I am also missing the middle bit of Canada 2007 due to losing the signal due a storm where I live. I don’t do Quali but I do have a few session off the top of my head are Austarilla 20. I don’t know why I started taping GP but I did and once I started I did not stop. ![]() I have got nearly every race from the Europen GP 1997 to last weekend on video. And I am a born and raised Bostonian if you can believe that! But I have to say that I have atleast 90%++ of all the Formula One races for the last 21 years. Ofcourse there are a few that I have missed along the way that I would like to get like the 1991 Mexican Grand Prix or a few recent races because I was there at the circuit myself. I have since recorded almost every Formula One and 24 Hours of Le Mans race since 1988 and still have them in perfect working condition today. I later recognized that Formula One was the pinnacle and started recording my first Formula One race in 1988 with the San Marino Grand Prix. After that race it was all motorsports for me from then onwards. I think I have alot of people beat in this contest! Top level motorsports hit me like a ton of “bricksyards” when I was 8 years old and watched the 1982 Indianapolis 500 which turned out to be one of the best, (if not “the” best) Indy 500 race of all time between Gordon Johncock and Rick Mears. *Not really, it’s a photograph by august allen on Flickr Photographic proof can be uploaded to the drop.io – and you can remain anonymous if you choose! I?óÔé¼Ôäód particularly like to hear from anyone who?óÔé¼Ôäós been recording Formula 1 for decades and has an entire wall of their house covered in F1 videos. Have you got your own collection of old F1 videos? How long have you been collecting them for? Or is there just no point now you can watch everything on YouTube? However because of the restrictions placed on the rights by Formula One Management these videos are not available outside Britain.īut this won’t trouble die-hard collectors armed with a stack of videos, DVDs or hard drives, recording races from public broadcasts. The BBC has begun re-publish old footage, starting with the 19 Australian Grands Prix. Many sites offer torrent downloads of races and other sessions, but there are doubts over their legality.īroadcasters are finally waking up to the demand for archive race footage. The internet has given fans new ways of ‘unofficially’ downloading races. DVD and hard disk recorders have largely replaced those. Until recently the best way to keep footage of entire races was to record it yourself on video cassette. ![]() Meticulously recording every F1 race is definitely one of the signs you?óÔé¼Ôäóre an F1 fanatic.īut without dedicated fans and their massive personal archives we wouldn?óÔé¼Ôäót be able to enjoy so much classic F1 footage on video sharing sites like Youtube ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ which are, of course, uploaded in defiance of Formula One Management?óÔé¼Ôäós wishes Obviously I thought it would be a good idea to write a post where I answer that question.īut it also got me wondering whether many fans collect F1 races to watch again in the future? Or has the advent of the internet and time-shift viewing consigned the practice to the past? I missed the Grand Prix last weekend ?óÔé¼ÔÇ£ is there anywhere I can get a copy of it? ![]() Here’s one of the question I get asked very often: ![]()
