I don’t mean really old, just from about 2000 onwards
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.
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 ?
F1 TV is pretty reasonably priced. That’s what I use and no issues.
Torrents probably ?
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.
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.
