Welcome to THE Supercharged Collection
The Supercharged Collection is an archive of motorsport images dating from the 1920’s through to the early 1980’s and is available for television, video, books, magazines and newspapers.
It contains both moving and still images. They range from Formula 1, through Formula 2 and 3 to saloon and GT car racing to bikes, to rallying and some go-kart racing.
Primarily UK-based images, wo do have some U.S. and South African pictures.
The oldest movie film footage is of the 1929 Ards TT race, closely followed by film of the 1937 and 1938 British Grands Prix at Donington Park.
Immediate post-World War 2 film includes the Jersey International Road Race of April 1947 and the first British Grand Prix at Silverstone (in 16mm colour) in 1950.
Formula 1 is well catered for from the 1960’s and 1970’s, as is saloon car and GT racing.
The still photograph collection includes F1, F2, F3 etc from the early 60’s through to the early 1980’s. These include track, paddock and pitlane images.
Driver images include virtually everyone who was in the pitlane at that time ; Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, John Surtees, Jim Clark, Emerson Fittipaldi, Dan Gurney, Jo Siffert, Carlos Reutemann, Colin Chapman, Frank Gardner and Ronnie Peterson etc.
Once again, saloon and GT racing is represented (including the BOAC sponsored races at Brands Hatch from 1969 to 1972), motor-bikes and also go-karts at the Crystal Palace circuit.
