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events from the 1920's through to the early 1990's. The first colour images appeared in the mid 1950's and 30 years of unpublished 35mm colour images remain in the LAT Black Books.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.
The term "legendary duo" can apply to both drivers and their cars, as the Alain Prost McLaren Honda MP4 / 2B and Ayrton Senna's Renault JPS marked motorsport.
This image taken during the GP of San Marino 1985 speaks for itself and is especially valuable for its content as for its graphic quality. The two stars of F1 will fight to the end for the victory, turn after turn, but it is Elio de Angelis, team-mate of Senna at Lotus, who will collect the laurels on the green carpet.
Indeed, by successive overtaking and attacks, the 2 drivers will be short in essence and will have to slow down towards the end of the Grand Prix. At this little game, Alain Prost will cut the line as winner, but his McLaren will be judged too light of 4kgs ... and will result in his disqualification, to the benefit of Elio de Angelis.
