EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating start of the RAC Tourist Trophy race in Goodwood, Sussex, back in 1958. The legendary Stirling Moss takes the lead behind the wheel of an Aston Martin, accompanied by his teammate Tony Brooks. Little did they know that this dynamic duo would drive their way to victory in this prestigious race. The intensity of the moment is palpable as these skilled drivers rev their engines at the starting line. Moss's Aston Martin stands out with its number 7 boldly displayed on its sleek frame, ready to conquer any challenge that lies ahead. Following closely behind is another Aston Martin, driven by Carroll Shelby and Stuart Lewis-Evans, who ultimately secured a respectable third place finish. This image not only showcases the thrilling world of motor racing but also highlights British excellence in automobile manufacturing during this era. It serves as a testament to both speed and precision while capturing a snapshot of history within the realm of sportsmanship. Preserved through time by an unknown creator, this photograph transports us back to an era where adrenaline-fueled races like these captivated audiences worldwide. As we admire this piece from our present-day perspective, it reminds us of how far transportation and motorsport have evolved since then – yet still manages to evoke a sense of nostalgia for those golden years when sports cars ruled the tracks with grace and power.
