There are exciting opportunities to Partner with us.
Great British Racing Drivers (GBRD) is a unique collection of new photographs celebrating more than 100 of Britain’s most iconic and inspirational drivers, past, present and future. From Karting kids to F1 legends, not all champions but all inspiring in many different ways. Men, women and kids. World, European and British Champions. Knights of the Realm, CBEs, OBEs, MBEs. Dogs, horses and a lightsaber ! Take a look at a small selection.
GBRD is a photography project about British racing drivers designed to appeal to both lovers of photography and motorsport fans a like. The book will have plenty of space for collecting autographs and who knows may even inspire a future driver or two.
The inspiration came from photographing at Goodwood Festival of Speed surrounded by these legends of motorsport and a desire to do something different from my usual work - editorial portraits. Beginning in 2014 with Sir Stirling Moss, John Surtees and Sir Jackie Stewart. I’ve travelled 1000s of miles around the UK to capture more than 100 drivers in settings and locations that link to their motorsport story or illustrate their personalities away from the track. With an ever increasing list of drivers to photograph, GBRD is definitely an on going project.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed meeting and getting to know all the drivers. They’ve all been great company, good fun, highly entertaining, extremely generous with their time and have shown great support for the project. They are all delighted about the creation of this unique catalogue and were excited that GBRD would be the very first visiting exhibition featured at The Silverstone Interactive Museum in 2019 -2021. See what some of them have to say.
It’s not only the drivers who have been very helpful and supportive. The ongoing support and assistance from the BRDC, MSUK and the Duke of Richmond has been invaluable. The Duke, with his knowledge and passion for both photography and motorsport, has written the exhibition foreword and been exceptionally generous in facilitating the Goodwood Estate as a location throughout the project. I am thrilled and honoured that GBRD has been invited to participate in the Festival of Speed 30th anniversary celebrations.
Currently GBRD is exhibiting at Motorsport UK, Bicester Motion. Please take a look around the site and join me on instagram and twitter (@gbrdphotos) I would love to see your comments.
I am delighted that GBRD is supporting Sir Jackie Stewart's Race Against Dementia charity by donating 10% of all print and book sales.
