Formula One Starts
The 2011 Formula One season gets underway in Bahrain on March 13th!
See our Formula One Gallery with 200 Grand Prix artworks from 1906 to 2008. Many are by these 14 prolific motor racing artists from around the world, who capture the spirit of these amazing cars so well.
Grand Prix motor racing has its roots in organised car racing that began in France as far back as 1894. It quickly evolved from a simple road race from one town to the next, to endurance tests for car and driver.
Grand Prix motor racing eventually evolved into formula racing, and Formula One can be seen as its direct descendant. Each event of the Formula One World Championships is still called a Grand Prix. Formula One is still referred to as Grand Prix racing.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
