EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment from the 1984 British Grand Prix, where Jo Gartner's Osella-Alfa Romeo met an unfortunate fate on the first lap. The image, taken by an unknown creator, freezes time to showcase the intensity and danger of Formula 1 racing in the 1980s. Set against the iconic Brands Hatch circuit in Fawkham Green, Kent, England, this classic photograph showcases Gartner's vibrant red Alfa Romeo as it careens off track. The crash is so forceful that a cloud of foam engulfs both car and driver. It serves as a powerful reminder of the risks these fearless drivers take every time they step into their sleek machines. The presence of a marshal rushing towards the scene adds to the sense of urgency and highlights how crucial safety measures are in motorsport. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates not only Gartner's misfortune but also pays homage to all those who dedicate themselves to ensuring driver safety on race day. Preserved within this print is a piece of motor racing history - an era when speed and skill collided with danger at every turn. As we gaze upon this retro masterpiece today, we are reminded of both the thrill and peril that define Formula 1 racing.
