EDITORS COMMENTS
This Autocar poster transports us back to the early days of automobile racing, specifically the French Grand Prix of 1912. The image showcases an intense moment during the race, with French driver Fernand Boillot in the smaller, nimble blue Peugeot relentlessly pursuing American racer Bruce Brown in the powerful red Fiat. The Peugeot, with its easier handling, proved to be the winning machine, averaging an impressive speed of around 68 mph on the dusty, winding track. Boillot's determination and skill paid off, as he crossed the finish line first, leaving Brown and the other competitors behind. This historical moment in motoring history is beautifully captured in this vintage poster, showcasing the spirit of competition that continues to fuel our passion for cars and racing to this day.
