Great Formula One Gallery: Race Cars Through the Ages
One of the coolest things about Formula One is that the race cars are about the most advanced road going machines around. The amount of money that gets poured into the development and engineering of these stunning vehicles is phenomenal, and hardly a week passes without some sort of tweak or change being implemented to the cars. It is almost as if they were alive, growing and adapting to their ever competitive peers. However it is rare that you get a chance to see old F1 cars side by side with the modern stuff.
I recently stumbled across another Blog that featured a great gallery of F1 race cars that gives a real evolutionary perspective on the sport. Seeing how the cars changed shapes and how the aerodynamics shifted from year to year is not unlike looking at the time line that starts with an ape walking on all fours and ends with a sophisticated human.
The gallery isn’t totally up to date but covers a large span of F1 history, running from 1950-2003, and showing all the different teams and their distinctive liveries. This is worth a look if you’re an F1 fan.
