Following the online release of our officially licensed set of Formula 1^® commissioned posters, Automobilist had the great honour to present the posters set at the 1000th Grand Prix™, held in Shanghai this past weekend. Automobilist also revealed its Race Day Edition poster, a black version of the already sold out Unique & Limited Gold poster, which was exclusively designed and given only to F1^® Drivers, F1 Team Principals, and permanently Accredited Media.

The Automobilist Team headed to Germany this past weekend for the 31st Techno-Classica Essen. The annual car show, which brings in over 190,000+ visitors and over 2,700+ Collectors, with 1,250+ Exhibitors and 200 Clubs, makes Essen the capital of the classic vehicles for a whirlwind 5 days.

October 24th, 1976: After an embattled season of constant lead changes, disqualifications, and near-death crashes, it was only fitting that the final race of the season, the XI Japanese Grand Prix, would be the decider - and just as contentious. Heavy rains and hanging fog had left Fuji Speedway fraught with danger. An intense debate over safety concerns between racers and organizers broke out, almost cancelling the race. To the dismay of many racers, the green light was given.
