Momentkeepers: Car Racing 1973
Another year is almost done … and we’re happy. Why? Because that means Editions Cercle d’Art and DPPI are releasing their next racing anthology in November.
Split-Seconds
Hundredths of a second and decisive moments define both motorsport and photography. Best example: Car Racing 1973, created by Editions Cercle d’Art and PhotoAgency DPPI. With narratives by Alain Pernot and rich photographic archives, Car Racing 1973 immerses you straight into the heart of the races and the destinies of legends. This ninth volume in the cult collection features 300 bilingual pages in a large-format, hardcover edition with a premium cloth-bound cover.
With the 1973 edition, the specialists bring to life a year of intense rivalries, technical daring, and contrasting destinies. From rallying to Formula 1, legendary drivers, iconic manufacturers, and historic races are brought back to life through compelling stories and rare photographic archives.
From Alpine etching its name into rally history, to Hesketh Racing shaking up the F1 paddock, and the iconic James Hunt making his World Championship debut—1973 marks the starting point of a new era of motorsport. Between the emergence of bold new talent and the tragic loss of a driver destined for greatness, this year serves as a stark reminder of how racing history is shaped at the volatile intersection of human achievement and fragility.
