Part of a series we were fortunate to acquire from M. Dessales, that shot, taken in Buenos Aires is also one of the last “Suixtil Moments” we have found. And what a moment, as Fangio‘s son attempt to launch his career in GP racing at the wheel of a splendid Brabham sporting your colors…. On […]

A stunning shot of another great champion, Harry Schell, as usual in Suixtil, who led such a full life that it would be hard to summarize it. Caught here by the incredibly talented John Ross, that picture grabs the hero while he is not paying attention, lost in thoughts in the pits between two bouts […]

Another incredible moment captured in this action shot! JM Fangio, in his last F1 season (when he would win his 5th world championship title) at the wheel of his Maserati 250F during the French Grand Prix in Rouen. The battle has already been fierce – as attested by the bloody nose of the car – […]

An incredible color image of El Maestro himself, at speed at the wheel of the unique W196 during the ’54 Spanish GP. One cannot help but notice the poignant and fascinating details – the oil-stained polo shirt, the resin, cork and leather Rivadavia helmet and, in the background and just a blur, an audience enthralled […]

An amazing picture shot at the Nürburgring (the Green Hell) in 1963 and parts of the Motorsportsfriends.ch archives, it gives, in vivid colors, an incredible feel for the atmosphere in the paddock – around a Ferrari 250 GTO. And in the midst of it all, Tommy Hitchcock in Suixtil strolls in nonchalantly…. On the technical […]

A glorious shot from M. Gene Bussian at Sebring in 1957. It captures in a single image, and in glorious colors, all the values that motor racing (and, indirectly, Suixtil) embodied – character, heroism, respect, friendship and so much more. That scene, with JM Fangio and Stirling Moss, two of the sport’s greatest champions (and […]

On the technical front, this image is presented without a […]
