EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Locomobile of American racing driver Joe Tracy competing in the prestigious Gordon Bennett Cup held in Auvergne, France in 1905. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, as Tracy skillfully maneuvers his steam-powered car through the dusty roads of this picturesque French countryside. Despite his undeniable talent and determination, fate was not on Tracy's side that day, as he failed to finish the race. However, this photograph immortalizes his valiant effort and serves as a testament to the thrilling world of early 20th-century motor racing. The scene is filled with excitement and anticipation, with smoke billowing from the exhaust pipes and a cloud of dust enveloping both man and machine. Tracy's number 18 car stands out amidst a sea of competitors, its sleek design reflecting both power and elegance. As an American pioneer in the industry during this era, Joe Tracy represents not only an individual but also symbolizes America's growing influence within the global automobile landscape. This image offers us a glimpse into history - a snapshot capturing an important moment for both motorsport enthusiasts and those interested in transportation evolution. Preserved by unknown hands over generations, this print now finds its place among other significant artifacts at National Motor Museum. It reminds us of our shared fascination with speed, innovation, and human ambition – qualities that continue to drive progress even today.
