If you’re willing to shell out $10 for the month or ~$80 for your first year, F1 TV is actually pretty great. You can access a full library of past Grand Prix, including race highlights of old that you can stream. Perhaps you can even get a free trial.

+1 For F1TV.

F1 TV has quite a few, but not all of them. The main benefit of F1 TV is that the stuff they have on there is higher quality than anywhere else. Overtakefans has the stuff that's missing from F1TV, but the quality is meh and sometimes they have races in only one language.

after having read this thread i run to check F1 tv which i'm subscribed. well, hoped to see more 80's full races but the quality is extremely good.

is there some little software to well, uhm, download that material ?

You can download F1TV content using Race Control

I was unaware the archive was so big, I was using it just for watching live streams.

Some 1987 stuff gave me timeout in download attempts but, anyway, not bad at all!

F1 TV is pretty reasonably priced. That's what I use and no issues.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not available in all countries, though :(

If they don't have access to F1TV, this is certainly the best option. It'd be rare to come across a seeded torrent with all of the old seasons, tho.

You might have some luck with a private trackers like Sportscult. They have open signups right now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

no longer open it seems

There's a couple trackers out there that are dedicated to motor racing. They pretty much have everything. You can probably find them with a Google search

There's also a massive 1 TB torrent of every race from 1978 - 2015. It's old, but still out there. I downloaded it a while ago and it took about a week to complete. The quality of the older races is crap. Most in English, but some aren't. Quality improves the closer you get to 2015.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

have been trying to find that big one for awhile

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You can try this magnet link?

But beware, it's now from 1978-2022 and has grown to 2.2 TB! So it's probably more realistic to just selectively download by season or something. Most torrent clients have that feature.

Holy hell that's true datahoarder material

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Haha, yes, they said that on that other site too. "Tell the datahoarder guys!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'd like to know more about these motorsport trackers
