Maserati 250F of 1954
Art by Alessandro Gerelli
Walking around in the pits, at this year’s Oldtimer Grand Prix, it was very interesting to watch the mechanics working on the cars and especially on the engines.
All the engines are beautiful, always clean and look like new, but the Italians are always more fascinating with the carburetors, air filters, and sparkplugs, but also exhaust tubes which look like sculptures.
What a difference with today’s electronics!

It was wonderful to see and hear the CTA Arsenal,designed by Lory and Planchon and presented at the Ring by former Miller owner Eckhart Berg.
Keep up the good work!
CTA Arsenal
Great set of photos. No Ferrari V-12’s?
Delage V12, 1927
Might be a Gordini 2.4ltr. twin spark V8 circa 1955???

Art indeed, great photographs. One of the best parts of the Oldtimer Grand Prix is being able to walk freely around the pits.
