THE PICTURE | THE STORY Jesse Alexander is considered the preeminent motorsport photographer of the 20th Century. His passion for the sport itself is only surpassed by his incredible dedication to document the people, cars, and places these famous races occurred. In representing a broad range of documentary subject matter, the Fahey/Klein Gallery hosted Jesse Alexander's exhibition, Monaco, which featured photographs from Jesse's time documenting the Monaco Grand Prix from 1955 to 1971-- a time period that epitomized the glamour, prestige, and suspense of a thrilling European motorsport race. Jesse Alexander recounts below the story behind capturing his famous portrait of legendary racer, Jim Clark. Jesse Alexander's exhibition, Inside Track, opens this Saturday, August 6th at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. David Fahey Fahey/Klein Gallery . Undoubtedly every photographer has his or her “Moonrise”, the well- known moonscape of Ansel Adams made in 1941. My most notable photograph is most certainly the impromptu portrait of race driver Jim Clark, minutes after he had safely climbed out of the Formula One car and made his way to the podium to accept the winner's trophy for the Belgium Grand Prix, in 1962. His average speed had been 132 mph in the Lotus 25. Which was very fast for the day. We were friends and both terribly excited. I congratulated him while at the same time taking several frames with the Leica. It was important that I had the access and it was a very emotional and exciting few minutes. I was able to get close to Clark as he approached the podium. When I raised my camera, he paused for a second. In just an instant, I feel I was able to capture both his courageous spirit and his sense of calm under pressure After developing the film, a week later, I recognized that I also had a winner. Clark was one of the most popular drivers of the era. He displayed a relaxed, almost effortless, style that captivated his fans. In 1968, his career came to a tragic end when he was killed at Hockenheim, Germany. The accident was apparently caused by tire failure. Jesse Alexander .

ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

1962 Lotus 24 BRM Chassis No. 946

! 1962 Lotus 24 BRM Chassis No. 946 • Immaculately presented following an exquisite restoration by marque expert Peter Denty Racing. Limited mileage has been accumulated since, with notable outings in the Glover Trophy at the last three editions of the Goodwood Revival. • Following a convincing Pole position at Brands Hatch this year with the HGPCA, this 1,500cc BRM V8 powered Lotus 24 led away from the start in the recent Glover Trophy race and featured strongly before finishing 3rd against stiff competition. • With 2015 FIA HTPs, this Lotus 24 will make an excellent entry to one of the most emotive grids in historic motorsport, racing on some of the best circuits across Europe. By 1962, Lotus had made a strong name for themselves in the world of Formula 1, and were becoming a force to be reckoned with. This came about with Colin Chapman’s Lotus 18 of 1960, which marked a change in formula car design. The low and sleek 18 was the first Lotus to feature a mid mounted engine instead of the traditional front mounted layout as in the Lotus 16 which went before, and subsequently gains were found in chassis design, weight and stiffness. Initially the new Lotus 18 ran with a 2,497cc Coventry Climax FPF four cylinder engine and the so called ‘Lotus Queerbox’ magnesium cased sequential transaxle which further contributed to the weight advantage that the Lotus 18 held. Success was yielded in its debut season with two World Championship victories for Rob Walker Racing and Stirling Moss. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E.
