The Farnham Flyer II | Goodwood Circuit 1952 | Hawthorn | Artwork

Original Painting. One of the better known photographs in motor racing is Louis Klemantaski’s shot of Mike Hawthorn’s Cooper T20 Bristol, which was the starting point for this painting. The Klemantaski Collection archive describe the photograph thus; ‘Hawthorn is obviously really on the absolute limit with this Cooper-Bristol and of course he is aiming right for Klemantaski who had positioned himself at the edge of the track exactly at the apex of the very fast Fordwater corner on the back of the Goodwood circuit. What a dynamic image!
