1948 RAC Grand Prix, Silverstone - Motorsport art print by Michael Turner Historic Start Ref: HIS-59

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.

Michael Turner was a young spectator at the race, and has painted the scene for the BRDC to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the circuit. His atmospheric painting provides a lasting reminder of the early beginnings of this famous track and a striking contrast with today`s Grand Prix scene.

"My boyhood excitement as a spectator at early post-war motor racing events, such as those first Goodwood and Silverstone meetings in 1948, undoubtedly provided the catalyst for my determination to follow a career in art in order to record and pass on this enthusiasm through my paintings" - Michael Turner
