About The Supercharged Collection
The Collection contains both moving and still images. They range from Formula 1, through Formula 2 and 3 to saloon and GT racing to bikes and some go-kart racing.
Primarily UK-based images, we 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.
There is even footage of soapbox derby racing from America in the early 1950’s (in colour!).
Into the 1960’s and 1970’s there is footage of various F1 races, plus the aforementioned F2 and F3 and saloon car races.
We also house some film of non-racing activities; a 1973 meeting in the Midlands of the Ferrari Owners Club, a Singer sportscar in the U.S., film of the Land Speed Record car ‘Babs’, immediately after its’ initial restoration and returned to Pendine Sands for the first time in 50 years. There is also some film of 1950’s kit cars on the open road.
We have an amount of rallying film and video, notably the 1977 Welsh Rally and the 1986 R.A.C. Rally (some 4 hours of un-seen professional footage).
Non-UK footage includes the F3 and F1 races at Monaco in 1964, the sportscar races at Cumberland Airport in Maryland, USA in 1954, the Indy 500’s of 1965 and 1967 and Le Mans in the early 70’s (1970-1972).
The still photograph collection includes F1, F2 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.
There is also saloon and GT racing (including the BOAC sponsored races at Brands Hatch from 1969 to 1972), motor-bikes and also go-karts at the Crystal Palace circuit.
