A captivating tribute to Britain’s racing legends: Celebrating the icons, inspirations, and future stars.
Indulge in the magic of motorsport and photography, united in this exquisite masterpiece that celebrates the triumphs, challenges, and sheer brilliance of Britain’s racing elite.
This stunning collection of portraits beautifully showcases the best of British talent in motorsport – a testament to their indomitable spirit, and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
From the thrilling journey of karting kids to the immortalised legends of Formula 1, these captivating portraits capture the essence of their lives beyond the racetrack.
There are men, women and kids. World, European and British Champions. Knights of the Realm, CBEs, OBEs, MBEs. Dogs, horses and even a lightsaber ! Take a look at a small selection.
The inspiration came from photographing at Goodwood Festival of Speed surrounded by these legends of motorsport and a desire to do something different from my usual work - editorial portraits. Beginning in 2014 with Sir Stirling Moss, John Surtees and Sir Jackie Stewart. I’ve travelled 1000s of miles around the UK to capture more than 100 drivers in settings and locations that link to their motorsport story or illustrate their personalities away from the track. With an ever increasing list of drivers to photograph, GBRD is definitely an on going project.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed meeting and getting to know all the drivers. They’ve all been great company, good fun, highly entertaining, extremely generous with their time and have shown great support for the project. They are all delighted about the creation of this unique catalogue and were excited that GBRD would be the very first visiting exhibition featured at The Silverstone Interactive Museum in 2019 -2021. See what some of them have to say.
It’s not only the drivers who have been very helpful and supportive. The ongoing support and assistance from the BRDC, MSUK and the Duke of Richmond has been invaluable. The Duke, with his knowledge and passion for both photography and motorsport, has written the exhibition foreword and been exceptionally generous in facilitating the Goodwood Estate as a location throughout the project. I am thrilled and honoured that GBRD has been invited to participate in the Festival of Speed 30th anniversary celebrations.
Currently GBRD is exhibiting at Motorsport UK, Bicester Motion. Please take a look around the site and join me on instagram and twitter (@gbrdphotos) I would love to see your comments.
I am delighted that GBRD is supporting Sir Jackie Stewart's Race Against Dementia charity by donating 10% of all print and book sales.
