“That’s right, to complement our extensive library of literature and information, we’ve acquired Photo4. The famous Italian archive was founded in Bologna over four decades ago and comprises in excess of 3,000,000 photographs documenting top-flight motorsport events from 1980 to the present day. Better still, the vast majority have never been seen before. And they’re all available to purchase now from www.girardoarchive.com. You can simply enter key words such as the names of drivers or team personnel, manufacturers or circuits, and once the desired images have been found, they can be added to a personal lightbox or purchased in high resolution directly from the website.
