Motorsport Images has the largest motoring picture collection in the world. The archive houses approximately 18 million images of which in the region of half are black and white negatives and glass plates. The library is made up of images from the world of motor sport since it began and every conceivable road car since it's invention. This incredible archive is the result of the amalgamation of a number of previously separate archives, which are now housed under one roof.
Many of the images are published pictures from the magazines owned and bought by Haymarket over the years and the archive contains the original prints from the very first 'Autocar' issue published in 1895 right through to the present day issue. 'The Motor' archive contains more sporting images with black and white negatives, glass plate and acetate from 1924 - subjects include road cars, sprints, hill climbs, motor shows and Grands Prix.
The original Teesdale Company supplied pictures to 'MotorSport' magazine (founded in 1924) and Motoring News (founded in 1955) and has over 4 million black & white negatives of motor racing events from the 1920's through to the early 1990's. The first colour images appeared in the mid 1950's and 30 years of unpublished 35mm colour images remain in the LAT Black Books. LAT now supplies the Haymarket Media Group, commercial clients, the worldwide media and agencies with motor sport coverage from around the world from Formula 1 to karting.
The 'Autosport' archive contains images from the world's leading motorsport weekly. Since 1950 all aspects of motor racing from Formula 1, Le Mans and sports cars, rallying, single seaters and club racing have been photographed and archived in colour and black and white formats.
In 1962, the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO, V12 3L, came out of the "Esses" of the forest at full speed. Leon Dernier and Jean (Blaton) Beurlys, run for the Belgian National Team and will be classified 3rd. The rubber on the asphalt accentuates the visual effect of speed in this photo.
For their first participation, the Ferrari 250 GTOs will be registered in the GT class, and prepared by Mauro Forghieri. But they will especially monopolize the 2nd, less than 5 laps from the first (Wicket / Noblet on the N°19) and 3rd position overall. Among the Belgians, Jean Blaton, known as "Beurlys" and uncle of Jacky Ickx, has a very special history with the Mancelle round because he has 15 participations and 5 podiums, always with Ferrari. He was in charge of a major public works company… as well as a Jazz lover and sax player in his spare time. He will finish second the following year, still with a 250GTO.
