Unknown autographs?!
Can anyone help me to recognise these autographs? I found them the other day but I have no idea who they are. I reckon they're probably BTCC-related (not necessarily just drivers) from around 2000-2002? That's just a guess as I haven't collected autographs for some time now!
But they may also be from F1 as my sister used to get them at testing. Thought it was worth a shot asking on here just in case anyone recognises one thanks!It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Your second one looks like Alain Prost to me. If it is from 2000-2002 then it ties in with the time Alain took over Ligier and it became Prost Grand Prix. I Wikipedia'd Alain's career and I see Alain ran his teem from 1997 to 2001 when it went bankrupt. So your sister could have gotten it in 2000 or 20001.
The first one looks like a fly that has gotten itself drunk, fell into an ink well, crawled out and staggered over the paper.Manufacturers Champs (06'), Teams Champs (07')

I didn't recognise Dario's autograph because it's a bit more squiggly than the one I have is.
You lot still here?!

yeah i have a few things signed by dario, he seems to have 2 ways of signing, he sometimes just signs a short squiggle that reads dario and the longer version which is shown above

It's interesting to see how a driver's autograph changes through the years. I've got James Thompson's from 1994, which is very long and every letter is clear to see. 10 years or so later, it's a lot more compact and taller and the letters are exaggarated quite a bit.
Infact, here's the proof. Here's the 1994 autograph: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u...1981/jt001.jpg
And here's the modern day one: http://motorsportautographs.fotopic.net/p33777411.htmlYou lot still here?!
Quite! Ocon showed why he is not in a Mercedes seat. Magnussen showed his F1 days is numbered. Perez is not looking great at the moment either. The 2026 cars woulD race better in Monaco l think.
