As worldwide popularity for motorsports and its various circuits, from F1 to Nascar to Indy and beyond, continues to accelerate, interest in the history of the sport has also piqued. UIG is privileged to represent the GPL Collection, an extraordinary collection of images exploring the history of motorsports from 1902 through 2002.
The GPL Collection features more than one million iconic images of racing events, race cars, drivers and other subjects covering all aspects of the sport. The Collection was founded and is run by former race car driver and collector Paul Vestey and auto racing author Doug Nye. The duo have worked to develop a comprehensive, historical collection which is available for licensing and prints.
Enjoy the attached slideshow of some of the terrific images in the GPL Collection. For more information about the collection please visit https://www.thegplcollection.com or contact UIG for image research and other inquires.
