Racing Sports Legends of the Past

For  while I have been occupying myself with the early history of racing sports in the first half of the last century. 

That was the time when the classical racing tracks were born: Targa Florio (Italy), the Mille Miglia (Italy), the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello (Italy), the Klausen Pass Race (Switzerland), the Reims-Gueux (France), the Nürburgring (Germany), the Avus-Berlin (Germany), the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (USA), the Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), the Monaco Grand Prix (Monte Carlo), the Brooklands (Great Britain) and the Carrera Panamericana (Mexico). 

Of course, the status of a racing sports legend has to develop and has to be earned over time. When it comes too international racing tracks, the triumphs and tragedies as well as the charismatic pilots and most of all, their fantastic vehicles play a key role.  

My momentary focus lies on the classical Mille Miglia from 1927 to 1957 and the racing car brands of these “1000 Miles“ from Brescia over Rome and back, Among the participants of this long-distance race are for example brands with great names like Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, BMW, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lancia, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, OM (Officine Meccaniche) and Porsche. 

Most of these brands that are so rich in history, exist until today and just like their models have developed, also their powerful brand logos have been modernises over the years and have been adapted to the spirit of the times – a outstanding approach for my Logoart.
