EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the legendary French racing drivers, Robert Benoit and Jules Goux, also known as "Divo," are seen in action during the 1928 French Grand Prix. The image captures a thrilling moment as Benoit, driving a Delage Type S7, skillfully navigates a curve, while Divo, in his Talbot T150CSS, follows closely behind. The French Grand Prix was one of the most prestigious motor races of the era, attracting the best drivers and teams from around the world. Held on the Circuit de Strasbourg, the 1928 race was particularly significant as it marked the first time that both Benoit and Divo competed in the same event for different teams. Benoit, a seasoned racer with a successful career behind him, had already won the French Grand Prix twice before, once in 1922 and again in 1925. Divo, on the other hand, was a rising star in the racing world, having won the 1925 Indianapolis 500 and the 1926 French Grand Prix. The Delage Type S7 and Talbot T150CSS were two of the most advanced and powerful racing cars of the time. Both drivers pushed their machines to the limit, showcasing their exceptional driving skills and determination on the challenging circuit. This photograph is a testament to the excitement and passion of the early days of motor racing. The intense concentration on Benoit's face, the spray of gravel flying up from the tires, and the determined look in Divo's eyes all combine to create a sense of energy and movement that transports us back to the thrilling world of 1920s Grand Prix racing.
