1907 Kaiserpreis-Rennen - Taunus Forest - Opel Print

Essentially the first German Grand Prix motor race. Many details are hidden all over the drawing. My artworks are not copies of old photographs. Work on one picture usually takes up to 2 months. Many hours of research and reference material to make sure I rebuild the car and environment exactly the way it was in that race. In addition, all fonts, logos and advertisements were used in those years. The Kaiserpreis race was the second major international motorsport event in Germany, after the 1904 Gordon Bennett race. It took place on June 13th and 14th, 1907 on a 117 km long circuit through the Taunus, Hesse, Germany. The race was held on the slightly modified 1904 course, which was now run in the opposite direction. Two elimination runs of two laps each took place on the first day of the race. The 20 fastest times qualified for the main race over four laps on the following day. The final race won Italian driver Felice Nazzaro in a Fiat. Carl Jörns in an Opel 34/65 hp racing car with Vauxhall 7.9L engine finished third and was awarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II special prize for the best German vehicle.
