Former Le Mans winner and Grand Prix driver Stefan Johansson is one of the first-time exhibitors in the event. The famous Swede was a Ferrari and McLaren F1 driver, and he picked up the brush after the death of his friend Elio de Angelis in a testing accident at Paul Ricard in 1986. He resided in Britain for some time, although he now does his work in a Los Angeles studio. He has a variety of works and has some abstracts that is reminiscent of different corners of famous racetracks.

Paul Howse is another newcomer who, until recently, has worked on the design team that makes McLaren road cars. His artwork will be continuing on the McLaren theme. Other newcomers are Brian James and Ian Bilbey who will bring their own different styles and expertise at the event.
First held in 2015, this exhibition has been curated on behalf of the Club by Rupert Whyte of Historic Car Art and Andrew Marriott of Pit Lane Productions.
Royal Automotive Club Head of Motoring Jeremy Vaughan shared, “Britain has more professional motoring and motor-racing artists than any other nation, and as collectors of motoring art for more than a century, the Club is delighted to showcase and help promote such prolific artists.”
