The field gets away in the 1948 RAC Grand Prix on October 2nd, 1948, the first ever event on the disused wartime airfield at Silverstone. Winner of the race was Luigi Villoresi in the works 4CLT Maserati number 18, who started at the back of the grid with his team-mate Alberto Ascari, who finished second, as their cars had arrived too late to practice.

His atmospheric painting provides a lasting reminder of the early beginnings of this famous track and a striking contrast with todays Grand Prix scene. LIMITED EDITION OF 500 PRINTS.
