EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the National Motor Museum, we are transported back to the thrilling 1959 Tourist Trophy at Goodwood. The image captures a heart-stopping moment as an Aston Martin DBR1 blazes in the pits, engulfed in flames. The intensity of the scene is palpable, with smoke billowing and sparks flying amidst the chaos. Behind the wheel of this fiery spectacle were none other than legendary drivers Stirling Moss and Roy Salvadori. Their determination and skill are evident even in this perilous situation, as they remain composed amid the inferno that threatens their beloved racing machine. The Aston Martin DBR1 itself exudes elegance and power, its sleek lines contrasting starkly against the backdrop of destruction. This iconic sports car was known for its exceptional performance on both track and road, making it a symbol of British engineering prowess during that era. While we can only imagine what led to this dramatic incident within Goodwood's pit lane, one thing is certain: it serves as a testament to the dangers faced by these fearless racers who pushed themselves and their machines to their limits in pursuit of victory. This remarkable print not only captures a pivotal moment in motorsport history but also reminds us of the bravery required to compete at such high stakes. It stands as a tribute to those who risked everything for their passion for speed and showcases just how far we have come since those adrenaline-fueled days on race tracks around the world.
