Capturing the Essence of Historic Racing: CJ10 7126". In this print by Chris McEvoy from CJM Photography, we are transported back in time to the exhilarating world of historic racing. The image showcases two iconic Bugatti models, the Type 51 driven by Fritz Burkard and the Type 35B piloted by Chris Hudson, as they compete in the prestigious Varzi Trophy at Goodwood Motor Circuit. The event, held during the Goodwood 79th Members Meeting in April 2022, pays homage to a golden era of motor sport when cars raced from 1928 to 1935. This thrilling twenty-five-minute single-driver race brings together a diverse range of classic vehicles that once graced circuits across Europe. Against a backdrop of picturesque West Sussex countryside, these heritage machines take center stage with their timeless beauty and raw power. As spectators cheer on from trackside, the atmosphere is electric with nostalgia and excitement. McEvoy's expertly captured shot perfectly encapsulates the essence of this historic spectacle. The dynamic composition freezes a moment in time where speed meets precision; where roaring engines echo through time; where drivers push themselves and their machines to their limits. This print serves as a testament to our enduring love affair with motorcars and our fascination with their rich history. It invites us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone but forever cherished – an era that continues to inspire generations of motorsport enthusiasts worldwide.
