A large proportion of Automobilist’s evocative artworks, which ingeniously combine meticulous digital renderings and real-life photography, have starred Formula 1 cars and drivers as their subjects. Now, the Czech-based studio has teamed up with Formula 1 and launched an official F1 Print Store, which is stocked full of posters and fine art prints dedicated to the fastest show on earth.
We’re delighted to announce that you can now buy the beautiful pure-form sculptures of the California-based French artist Stéphane Dufour on Classic Driver. We visited the unassuming Los Angeles studio where Dufour’s sculptures are brought to life back in 2019 and were captivated by the infectious passion he carefully pours into each piece.
Using a clever blend of photography and digital rendering, Automobilist’s artworks aim to provide new, previously unseen perspectives on some of motorsport history’s most significant moments. You can now find all these original pieces, in addition to a broad selection of the Czech-based digital artists’ perfect posters, listed for sale in the Classic Driver Market. We hope you enjoy browsing and curating your personal motorsport museum as much as we have.

While most of his contemporaries would have baulked at the sight of a junkyard full of old wrecked cars and worthless metal, John Chamberlain saw fascinating material for his art. The sculptor had his ‘revival experience’ in the summer of 1957 when he discovered a rundown Ford Pie Wagon from the 1920s.
