Monte Carlo, Mille Miglia, Nurburgring .
These are the deadliest curves, filled with the legends of motorcycles, machines and immortality.
Join me for a tour of the giants of racing, from 1896 through the 1960's, and their pictures and stories.
Blood, victory, defeat and courage; often in the same race.

Tazio Nuvolari, Lying In State, 1953
Here's a rare photo from a magazine of the legendary racing legend Tazio Nuvolari, lying in state. I'm struck by the simplicity of his surroundings; a few trophies, the attire he wore when he raced. He died August 11th, 1953.
