I recently opened one of my bookmarked pages, https://www.motorsportimages.com/, to find Getty had completely ruined the site by removing and hiding the images it used to contain. The Wayback Machine has some snapshots but it's far from complete.
This might be a long shot but is there any community, tracker or place I can check to see if the website and the almost 100000 photos from old GPs and motorsports history were backed up somehow? I know it would have required someone to scrape the whole site and pull the highest res version of each photo along with the title, description, time and all the metadata that made the site so good.
I'd appreciate any input or tips, this is really niche and I highly doubt there is a complete backup but who knows
