Yes, many are unique in that there are so many but we are primarily looking for images from spectators, crew and ones that were taken by amatuers .... just to put a different perspective on the story .... Thank you [email protected]

I have found Pintrest is great for locating photos as its algorithms will find images with like / similar features.

I have created a number of albums/collections.
here is one for GT103.

It should go through to my profile and there are a number of other collections for other chassis and details.
