  • Designed for Speed : Three Automobiles by Ferrari
    Designed for speed : three automobiles by Ferrari Date 1993 Publisher The Museum of Modern Art Exhibition URL www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/411 The Museum of Modern Art's exhibition history— from our founding in 1929 to the present—is available online. It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art * - . i . ' ' y ' . Designed for Speed: Three Automobiles by Ferrari k \ ' . r- ; / THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK The nearer the automobile approaches its utilitarian ends, the more beautiful it becomes. That is, when the vertical lines (which contrary to its purpose) dominated at its debut, it was ugly, and people kept buying horses. Cars were known as "horseless carriages." The necessity of speed lowered and elongated the car so that the horizontal lines, balanced by the curves, dominated: it became a perfect whole, logically organized for its purpose, and it was beautiful. —Fernand Leger "Aesthetics of the Machine: The Manufactured Object, The Artisan, and the Artist," 1924 M Migh-performance sports and racing cars represent some of the ultimate achievements of one of the world's largest industries. Few objects inspire such longing and acute fascination. As the French critic and theorist Roland Barthes observed, "I think that cars today are almost the exact equiv alent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object." Unlike most machines, which often seem to have an antagonistic relationship with people, these are intentionally designed for improved handling, and the refinement of the association between man and machine.

  • Bulletin D'informations Aux Membres LE MOT DU BUREAU CALENDRIER 2010
    Bulletin d’Informations aux Membres Chapitre XV – Avril 2010 LE M OT DU BUREAU CALENDRIER 2010 Nous y sommes enfin ! Que cet hiver fut long et rude… mais à 6,5 € l’unité – Edition limitée à 100 unités moins à 15 jours de la première manifestation ICCiste au programme cette année, les mécaniques et leurs équipages semblent bruler d’impatience pour flirter avec le macadam… Lors de la rédaction du précédent B.I.M., le bureau du Club était inondé sous une livraison de 250 polos prêts à vous être retournés. La satisfaction générale ressentie après que vous ayez reçu votre commande nous a poussés à travailler sur un nouveau projet de vestes brodées reprenant le logo du club. Nous pensions profiter du Motor Festival d’Avignon pour en faire produire une toute petite série, afin d’attirer votre attention avec ce nouveau produit (ce qui n’a pas manqué). Malheureusement il ne connaitra pas de suite (du moins sous cette forme), les variations et différence de taille étant trop importantes, provoquant à coup sur de trop nombreux retours. A suivre donc. Vous trouverez ci-joint 3 bulletins de participation pour les prochaines dates au calendrier du club. A l’heure où nous vous adressons ces quelques mots, il reste quelques places (4 pour tout dire sur les 25 prévues) pour la Ronde Languedocienne programmée le 18 avril prochain (je vous invite à me joindre par téléphone au préalable pour être sur qu’elles n’aient pas été souscrites depuis si vous êtes intéressés). Nous vous donnerons rendez vous ensuite le 30 mai dans l’Allier pour la Giornata Lancia, premier rassemblement interclubs Lancia de France, organisé à l’initiative des Squadre Beta & Fulvia (toutes les marques italiennes y sont conviées, et nous comptons à ce jour près d’une quarantaine d’autos inscrites tous clubs compris).

I believe it is the most comprehensive and accurate you will find anywhere. However, although I have tried to make sure the information presented here is as correct and accurate as possible, some reservation is always necessary. Research is continuously progressing and may lead to new findings. Website In addition to the Racing Circuits Factbook file you are viewing, my website www.wegcircuits.nl offers several further downloadable pdf-files: theRennen! Races! Vitesse! pdf details over 700 racing circuits in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria, and also contains notes on Luxembourg and Switzerland. The American Road Courses pdf-documents lists nearly 160 road courses of past and present in the United States and Canada. These files are the most comprehensive and accurate sources for racing circuits in said countries. My website also lists nearly 5000 dates of motorcycle road races in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg and Switzerland, allowing you to see exactly when many of the motorcycle circuits listed in the Rennen! Races! Vitesse! document were used.
