I hardly know anything about Indycars, so I'll only post the image title. There's a few I can't ID here, too, so any help would be appreciated.

Colin Chapman and Jim Clark, 1965 Indy 500.

Right, only time Clark and Brabham raced in the same Indy 500 was 1964, but then Brabham raced with #52, which this car isn't. Any ideas, anyone?

Didn't think Mario ever raced with #2, so I don't know where/when this is.

Shit, did it again. Sorry.

Again, Emmo. Don't know if it's '91 or '92.

Donnie Allison, Greer-Foyt, 1970 Indianapolis 500.

That's all I have for hr Indycars. Someone in the last thread requested Prost and 1980s McLarens, but I'll need to do some sorting before I put them up.

In the meantime any Indycars, or American auto-racing in general would be great.

Cheers!

Someone in the last thread asked for Alain Prost and 1980s McLarens. I've decided to go with one, the other or both in these. Sorry, a few of these aren't particularly high-res, but I've done my best, but if I'd done the highest res '80s McLaren shots I have it'd be 90% Ayrton Senna, so...

The "Little French Frog", as his '84/'85 McLaren team-mate Niki Lauda described him, on his way to his first win. French driver, French car (Renault RE30), French track (Dijon-Prenois), and a very happy French crowd.

1983 British GP, Silverstone, in the Renault RE40, which Prost also won.

In 1977 Renault's first car, the RS01, was the first F1 car of the modern era with a turbocharged engine. It was a novelty, not a serious contender, and was dubbed the 'yellow steam kettle' in the paddock due to its habit of expiring in a cloud of smoke early on in races.

By '83, however, turbo engines were the way to go. Prost took four wins in '83 but was hampered by reliability issues. When his turbo blew in the last race of the season, he handed the title to Nelson Piquet by two points.

Despite coming so close in '83, the Renault team had proven itself to be a somewhat disorganised, haphazard outfit, and Prost came to the conclusion he'd never be champion with them. For '84 he signed with a resurgent McLaren team. McLaren suffered a dismal start to the eighties with some of the worst cars they ever made, but '81 saw Ron Dennis turn up with designer John Barnard, and the team started making progress back to the front of the grid. '81 saw their first win since James Hunt and the M26 in '77, and by '84 the team was a thoroughly front-line setup.

This picture is Prost in the MP4/2 at Brands Hatch. He'd qualified ahead of team-mate Lauda, who won the race, but dropped out with gearbox problems.

Despite his three world championships, Niki 'the rat' Lauda was never amongst F1's very quickest drivers. He never had the natural ability of Senna, or the superbly technical style of Prost, but he's one of F1's genuine heroes.

Taking the title in '75, he was burned to within an inch of his life at the '76 German GP at the Nürburgring. He was given the Last Rites on his hospital bed, but was back in the cockpit three races later. Another championship in '77 preceded a move to Bernie Eccelstone's Brabham outfit. Two seasons there, he declared he was bored with 'driving around in circles' and buggered off to found an airline. In '82 he needed cash, so he came back (despite claims he wouldn't be quick enough any more), won two races in his first season, and took the title in '84, before packing it in for good at the end of '85.

The magnificent, ornery bastard is a regular feature on Austrian F1 coverage, giving typically blunt opinions on everything and regularly forgetting you're not supposed to use the word "bullshit" on air.

The key element to Lauda's F1 success was his ability to be a cruel, manipulative bastard in a professional sense ("You do things, you fuck people, it's racing"), and an important part of this was dominating his team-mates. He always sought to make sure he was the team's number one, and to make sure the number two was very much aware of this.

The "little French frog" annoyed him when he turned up in '84. Lauda knew Prost was faster, and was unable to badger him into a supporting role.

Nevertheless, Lauda came out on top in '84. Here he is on his way to victory in front of a home crowd in the Austrian GP at the Österreichring in the MP4-2.

By '85, however, Prost had found his feet. Lauda suffered a season of mechanical failures, and, feeling he'd been resigned to second place within the team (and having fulfilled his aim to give his bank balance a cash injection) retired for good at the end of the season. This picture shows him in the MP4/2B at Circuit Paul Ricard - he'd retire with a siezed gearbox.

Prost, however, took five wins that year and, finishing well ahead of Ferrari's Michele Alboreto, became the first French F1 World Champion.

Prost was champion again in '86, but '87 saw him struggle to third in the standings behind Piquet and Mansell in the dominant Williams FW11B. Then, for the '88 season, Ayrton Senna turned up at McLaren and Prost suddenly had a problem on his hands.

In Senna's first four seasons, since arriving with Toleman in 1984, he'd put in a number of astonishing performances in cars that didn't really warrant them. In his sixth race, at a drenched Monaco in '84, he was closing in on Prost's leading McLaren in his uncompetitive TG184 when the race was stopped prematurely (and inappropriately) by Jacky Ickx, course clark at the time. He'd dominated every team-mate he had, and Prost had a huge challenge on his hands for the '88 season.

The title lead switched back and forth between Senna and Prost all through '88, but the Brazillian eventually took it by three points.

Things all turned nasty for '89. Nobody could catch the two McLarens, but the feeling between the two team-mates was becoming extremely bitter.

It was down to a lot of things. Honda had started supplying McLaren's engines for '89 and, due to their involvement with Senna at Lotus, Prost felt (quite rightly) that there would be pressure put on the team to support the Brazillian by the Japanese company. Senna's breaking of an agreement to not contest the first corner at the year's second GP, at Imola, set the tone for the rest of the year.

"By the time we got to Monza, I was ahead of him in the championship, by about ten points. But that race. was the real low point between McLaren and me. Senna had two cars, with twenty people around him, and I had just one car, with maybe four or five mechanics working for me. I was absolutely alone, in one part of the garage, and that was perhaps the toughest weekend of my racing career. Honda was really hard against me by then, and it was difficult trying to fight for the championship in that situation. In practice, Ayrton was nearly two seconds quicker than me - OK, as I said, he was certainly a better qualifier than I was, but two seconds? That was a joke."

Taken from http://www.prostfan.com/senna2.htm , a transcribed interview with Prost for Motorsport magazine. Worth a read.

It all ended, famously, with Prost running Senna off the road in the last GP of the year at Suzuka. Prost left for Ferrari at the end of '89, with Senna staying on to take the championship in '90 and '91. Prost took a breather for '92, before winning his final championship in '93 in the dominant Williams FW15C.
