EDITORS COMMENTS
This ceramic tile print transports us back in time to the thrilling French Grand Prix de l'ACF at Dieppe in 1908. At the helm of the Mercedes, with unyielding determination and focus, is the daring racer, Christian Lautenschlager. The image captures the essence of the 19th century's transition into the 20th century, as the world of motor racing began to embrace the latest technological advancements. The pneumatic tires on Lautenschlager's Mercedes, inflated with air and made of rubber, revolutionized the sport, allowing for greater speed and control on the road. The Michelin Building in Fulham Road, London, commemorates this pivotal moment in racing history with this stunning tile picture. The urgency and intensity of the race are palpable as Lautenschlager pushes his vehicle to its limits, leaving his competitors in the dust. Teamwork and collaboration were also essential elements of this era, as evidenced by the support of the tire company, Michelin, and their groundbreaking innovation. This tile print serves as a testament to the rich history of motor racing and the significant role that advancements in tire technology played in shaping the sport. The movement and energy captured in the image are a reminder of the spirit of competition and the thrill of the race that continues to captivate audiences today.
