Motorsport exhibition at Galerie 16

This collection explores the world of historic motorsport beyond the race itself — the people, the machines, the atmosphere and the quieter moments that unfold around them. From the intensity of the paddock to the smallest details and fleeting expressions, each photograph captures a different part of the story, celebrating not simply the spectacle of motorsport, but its character, history and enduring fascination.

The Final Word


In the Oulton Park paddock, driver and mechanic share one last conversation before the car heads for the track. Amid all the noise and colour of racing, it captures the quieter partnership on which everything that follows depends.

Made In Britain


Sir Chris Hoy’s racing Mini stands proud in the Goodwood Revival paddock, surrounded by mechanics in period dress. With the Union Jack caught flying behind it, the photograph brings together two British sporting icons — and a little of the passion, character and theatre that make Goodwood unique.

First Season


In his debut season, a young driver gathers his thoughts beside the historic Ford Anglia in which he is beginning his racing career. The helmet waits on the roof — a quiet moment of focus after all the investment, preparation and determination, and just before it’s time to prove it on the track.

Sizing Up the Competion


The cars may still be queuing for the paddock, but the competition has already started. One driver watches his rivals intently from behind the wheel, while another walks alongside his own car — each preparing, in his own way, for what comes next.

Caught in Time

As the historic race cars queue for the track, a young boy in period dress stops in his tracks, transfixed by the spectacle. Beneath a brooding Croft sky, the scene slips almost seamlessly between past and present.

The Veterans

Two unrestored 1960s Works Minis, together again after lives spent in competition. Shot close and uncompromisingly, every scar, mark and imperfection is worn like the lines on an old face — their history written into the metal.
