The First Official Russian Grand Prix. 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. 1914 Russian Grand Prix, officially named ‘Grand Prix de l'Automobile Club de Saint-Pétersbourg’ was held on 18 May, 1914 at the route near Saint Petersburg.
