I was after a painting on the 1957 German Grand Prix for our home and I came across a piece by Michael Turner that I really liked.

A print of this will likely go on the wall.

Do you have motorsport art, paintings that you proudly display at home? Show us. smile

I'm interested in discovering more artists!

Not a painting but is on my office/game room wall because I love Spa and it matches the white and grey decor of the room rather nicely biggrin

ETA no idea where it came from as it was a gift. It’s 70 x 100cm so getting the frame home in my old SLK required dropping the roof and putting it behind the seats. In January. In the rain. Haha

I've loads, this is one of my favourites.

I bought mine from the Artist at the Autosport Show, It was on his display for the show in a fantastic frame, i agreed with him to collect it at the end of the show to save him having to lump it home. My brother bought the Coulthard one also on display.

The detail in these prints is fantastic, a great artist.

If you like very bright and often whacky motorsport art check out Anna Louise Felstead. https://www.alfelstead.com/

Anna does a lot of live art at the big historic events. For those of you into your reality shows, she is the big sister of Binky from Made in Chelsea. biggrin

Can't remember where I found this one but it seemed rude not to get it, so it now lives in the conservatory.



This was a cheapy BMW merchandise, pressed metal/print sort of thing. Just happened to see it on the BMW stand at the touring cars a while ago and liked it.

I remember this in my school library and used to borrow it a few times; it was akin to Youtube. Reading Roebuck fawn over Gilles in Autosport, Turner's paintings did more than anything to help me understand why Gilles was so revered and why his legend persevered - I am sure of it.

Eric Mc - that Ferrari print is gorgeous. I browse these type of threads a lot as I badly need more car art on my walls, but it's not often I see something I immediately start trying to find, unfortunately this one appears to be popular.

The artwork was originally commissioned for the late Chris Nixon's book on Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins - "!Mon Ami Mate".

We’re redecorating at the moment so I don’t have them up but I have a few 917 prints by Uli Ehert that look like this



I’ll put all my fathers 35mm slides on to digital soon and make some prints from those, F1 from the 70s, Oulton Park Gold Cup etc

I love Michel Vaillant’s graphic novel style as below, really want a nice Tim Layzell print and I’d also like one of those cutaway drawings by the Italian guy whose name I’ve forgotten.
