Framed Racing Art
Racing events are cherished by those who seek the adrenaline rush and FramedArt.com has framed racing posters dedicated to cars, motorcycles and even plane races. The passion for speed is not a novelty and the first races were held thousands of years ago in ancient Greece and Rome.
Back then locals were competing in chariots or on the back of horses, with the winners performing in front of huge crowds.
Major structures such as the Colosseum were used as venues for these competitions, with modern races being hosted by tracks and circuits.
Racing events picked up speed in the second half of the 20th century, when powerful and fast automobiles were created. The manufacturers were keen on impressing the audience with the prototypes, in an attempt of convincing prospective customers that these would make great acquisitions. The Grand Prix Monaco has been for many decades one of the most important competitions for racing fans and it comes as no surprise that it is featured in most framed racing posters.
The Nurburgring and Grand Prix of Belgium events also enjoy coverage in the framed racing posters, with vintage photographs depicting the cars of those times. The fastest pilots and the famous brands that won the tournaments for consecutive years linger in the collective memory of racing fans and are kept alive by artwork. The 24 hour race of Le Mans and the Indianapolis motor Speedway are some of the events that began decades ago and are still among the highlights of the year for racing fans.
