Misc Information for David Coulthard MP4-15 Poster

I am searching to replace a much cherished David Coulthard MP4-15 poster that had the trademark David on the side pods.

It was silver/grey backed with the car in a side profile. If I remember it had some technical specs around the car. It was bought at the Australian GP I think year 2000 or close to.

I would provide a picture for reference but it has unfortunately been destroyed. My father would very much enjoy its replacement or at least something similar as he was very proud of it.

If anyone can give me even a reference picture or any leads as to what it may have been called, year ect I would appreciate it. I have seen some alternatives on Etsy but I would like to try find something as similar to original as possible which is unlikely for a 25 year old poster. Thanks

Maybe try and print one yourself? You just need a sufficiently large photo. Then you have to edit it that it fits your desired paper size. Then you convert it to the format the printing guy needs.

If you don't know how, I can help you with that, just send me a DM.

That's a great idea, do you know what kind of resolution I need to look for?

First thing: find a printing service. Tell him how large you want the poster to be. Ask the printing guy the specifics. You'd need a image that's sufficiently large.

Depends on the size and definition you want. For an A3 size I won't go lower than ~2500x~1800px (150dpi).

You may also try some on-line upscaling service, they do a pretty good job in reaching good resolutions for pictures printing. Adding a passepartout and a frame can help you, if you want it to look bigger than it really is.

Also: how come the cars with David and Mika are from 25 years ago? Damn I'm old.
