When the cars align: Motor Sport at 100

If you’re an avid reader of this magazine, you’ll have noticed the new addition to our covers since January, ‘Celebrating 100 glorious years’, as Motor Sport marks its centenary. As part of the merrymaking, we launched our Race Car of the Century campaign, where you get to determine which of our 10 chosen machines from across the decades is the finest of them all. 

To further mark the occasion, we’ve partnered with renowned motor sport artist Martin Tomlinson to have each of the nominated competition cars immortalised as a bespoke artwork, with both the original and limited-edition prints set to be available to buy at the Motor Sport shop.

It’s a major undertaking, hand-crafting scintillating snapshots of 10 different cars across Motor Sport’s existence, but it’s a task Tomlinson has more than embraced.
