Thx auscain, yes I have visited that site already, in my experience emails are usually ignored, or replied with i can't help you.
If I could afford to fly the world and take pictures, I would, but even then there would probably be restrictions on which areas a "general" photographer has access.
I have had some luck finding info, the redbull stand for instance.....

but I only found that AFTER I had made it
, but great technical reference for modelling.
Like I already said, the only way to get decent reference is to take it yourself, but in this case, I simply don't have the time or money to do it.
Searching for reference IS time consuming, and destroys my passion for modding this game, ( posts like the one from Duffer are little gems of detail ), It's great when you find the "perfect picture" but it hardly justifies the hours and hours of searching to find it.
EDIT: I'm stuck on mobile broadband at the moment, so speeds aren't that great, probably adds to the frustration.
