Fairly new here, attempted to ingratiate myself by dumping a load of high-res historic motorsports pictures over the past few weeks, and have become addicted to this board.

I was wondering, how big are your /hr/ folders? How much space am I going to end up devoting to this?

Mine actually is 6 GB, but I only save what I like.

If you save lot of threads, you may end up needing something like 500MB, maybe 1GB a week.

Then they are lot of repost, so depends if you are lazy or not (well, it's not a question of laziness, it's just using the right software to remove duplicate).

Agh! You requested prototype sports cars, I dumped all I had, and the thread got zapped as soon as I'd finished.

Most of my collection is F1 (because it's so much easier to come across on high-resolution), the sports cars I have are primarily pre-1980, and of those I do have after 1989 there's only a couple in high resolution. Still, I'll post everything I have that's roughly in the right area.

There - sorry, that's all I've got for that in high-resolution. I guess when you said "'90s Le Mans" you were really after the (glorious) Group C cars, and I'm afraid I don't have many of those (and I really should, they're spectacular).

All of my photos are period ones, though. If you just want pictures of the cars, then I'm sure there are some modern high resolution photos about (you might do well to check Wikimedia).

Anyways, I'm going to make more of an effort to track down some Group C pictures after this (and some Group 5 ones, actually, 935s and the like). If I find any gooduns, I'll be sure to post them here.

Just done a check and, with no duplicates as far as I can tell, there are about 3,500 pictures over 1280 on one axis, which is why when people were saying "Rapidshit it!" I was saying "Uhm... Well I can do -some- of it..."

You could do a multi part rapidshare. would take a while as it sounds like you have approx. 5GB. I recommend a torrent. ave you got yourself a nice image grabber for imageboards?

I use not4changrab - small and works efficiently and keeps original filenames, which comes in handy.

It's a question of time, really. If I do put the whole lot up I'd want to have it organised first, and I have a fair backlog of pictures to identify. At the moment I don't have time, but I'll probably give it a go next time I have a week without much on.

When I do get it all sorted out, I'll come in here and make sure there are five or six people who want it, get them all on at the same time and then open up a torrent for it. But, yeah - won't be for a while, although when I do get it all sorted out I'll be sure to come into /hr/ and let you guys have the lot.

well if you do get round to it let us know yah?

Are you willing to upload the whole lot for others to help identify? I've got some beefy servers and unlimited bandwidth I could get you access to. let me know if you're interested.

That's very kind of you. I'll keep hold of your e-mail address. Thing is, I want to organise them primarily for my own sake, and identifying these pictures does depend on being an enormous fucking geek (i.e. "it can't be Zandvoort, because they had Marlboro decals on the kerbs by 1972, although Cevert ran the 001 chassis in practice for Dijon so it could be from there rather than the race, but if it's Dijon the only corner it could be is Combe and they didn't have STP banners there, they were Motul banners..." etc). I will work on getting these done and sorted, and I'll be sure to get hold of you (and /hr/ as a whole) when I do, but... Yeah, give us a few weeks.

I don't maintain folders by image size/resolution although several folders are mostly filled with hires stuff.
Instead I right click and sort by size.

Either way you end up with humongous collections that Windows doesn't handle well. If I rename a file Windows will restore the previous named pic as well as the new one. <PITA> Emptying the recycle bin is the cure but one not always remembered when I shut down half awake at 2AM.

Someone in /g/ offered a hack that helps with large folders but now I can't find it. <hint>

almost 10. but so far i haven't gone back to delete pictures i don't really want which probably composes about half. it's too late now though.

If 'win' refers to old racing cars, I put 441mb of mainly historic F1 pics, and some sportscars, up at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6H463STB .

Sorry, no movement yet on the larger upload of the whole lot. Have been too busy getting horrendously twatted for freshers' week. I'm giving myself a day off from borderline alcoholism today, though, so I'll try and get through some more of the disorganised pictures.

Oh, and Champ Cars are very much win, good pics. Whilst I appreciate the need to integrate them back with the IRL, you guys lost a great series doing that.
