About the Item
This striking 1971 original poster by Paul Torr, produced to advertise the Silverstone Uniflo Trophy Meeting, is a vivid example of British motorsport art from the early 1970s, a period when major racing events were still promoted through bold, hand-painted imagery.
The composition is dominated by a red Formula 5000 car seen from a dramatic three-quarter angle, charging forward with its front wheels turned and its massive rear wing looming overhead. Torr places the viewer almost at track level, intensifying the sensation of speed and risk. The exposed suspension, wide slick tires, and helmeted driver are rendered with technical confidence, reflecting the era’s fascination with both engineering and human courage.
The background dissolves into sweeping strokes of ochre and brown, suggesting dust, heat, and motion rather than a literal circuit setting. This painterly treatment contrasts with the sharply defined car, making the machine appear to burst out of the surface of the poster. Torr’s expressive brushwork captures not just the look of racing, but its physical energy and noise.
The strong, modern typography at the top anchors the image in its promotional role, clearly announcing the Silverstone venue, the August 1971 date, and the Uniflo Trophy. The integration of sponsor logos and event details reflects the growing professionalization of motorsport at the time, while still preserving the aesthetic ambition of illustrated posters.
Today, this poster is appreciated as both a collectible racing artifact and a work of graphic art. It stands as a testament to Paul Torr’s ability to translate speed into image and to a moment when motorsport culture and visual design combined to create posters that were as exciting as the events they announced.
