COMPLETING THE PICTURE: UNVEILING THE FULL RACING RECORD

STARTING POINT

This car’s racing history was based on sixteen known events. The aim of the research was to go beyond what had been previously established, clarify uncertainties, and search for new evidence across a wide range of sources.

RESEARCH

A comprehensive investigation was undertaken to reconstruct the car’s sporting career in greater detail. By consulting period archives, specialist bibliographies, press reviews, and reaching out to historians and experts, seven additional race entries were identified—an increase of over 43% compared to the previously known record, bringing the total to 23 events. Artificial intelligence tools were also employed to cross-check data, including race numbers and results. The research led to the discovery of numerous photographs—many unpublished—and period footage, helping to trace the car’s visual evolution over time. Even in cases where photographic evidence is missing, documented participation has been validated through reliable printed sources. The car’s competition record is now broader and better supported, offering a more complete and credible view of its role in motorsport history.
