Bugatti Type57G Tank - 24 Heures du Mans 1937

We at GetArchive are exploring new methods of image metadata augmentation and verification. Our goal is to make it possible to find images on any topic. In particular, we are trying to verify and fix historic periodization. This collection is made of historic photographs of automobiles that look as if they were taken in the 1940s. The collection is made with aid of a neural image recognition network dealing with the whole image composition rather than with the car model - some cars may be dated incorrectly. Although, while this method is surprisingly good for the purpose of dating and tagging, a certain percentage of images (less than 8%) may not represent automobile, but other vehicle type or visually similar object. Naturally, our next step should be creating numerous datasets for a particular car years&models, but as of September 2022, we found no use to justify the effort.

The race is one of the oldest and most prestigious motorsport events in the world, first held in 1923. The race is organized by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) and takes place on the Circuit de la Sarthe, a 13.6 km (8.5 mi) track that combines public roads with a purpose-built section. The race is run continuously over 24 hours, with teams of drivers taking turns to race their cars around the circuit. The aim of the race is to cover the greatest distance in 24 hours, with the winner being the team that completes the most laps. The race attracts some of the biggest names in motorsport and has seen many legendary drivers and cars compete over the years. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is part of the FIA World Endurance Championship and is one of the three races that make up the Triple Crown of Motorsport, along with the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix. Winning all three races is considered one of the greatest achievements in motorsport.
