Following the deaths of Tom Pryce at the South African Grand Prix and Carlos Pace in a light aircraft crash, the teams arrived at the US Grand Prix West in sombre mood.

Located at Long Beach, the street track was tight, dusty and bumpy. Yet, with minimal upgrades to the Ferrari 312T2’s of Niki Lauda and Carlos Reutemann, they still managed to power their drivers to 1st and 4th on the grid respectively.

Unfortunately for Carlos, his 80-lap race didn’t start (or end) well - locking up into the first corner, Carlos slid straight on and up the slip road before re-joining at the back of the pack – coming together with American driver Brett Lunger’s March-Ford 4 laps later and retiring with damaged suspension.

It wasn’t all bad news for the American crowds though as Mario Andretti, driving a Lotus-Ford won the race – holding off Niki Lauda’s Ferrari to become the first American to win a Formula One race on home soil – not to mention, giving the ground-effect Lotus 78 its first victory.

Top 3 results:
Mario Andretti - Lotus-Ford [1:51:35.470]
Niki Lauda - Ferrari [+ 0.773]
Jody Scheckter - Wolf-Ford [+ 4.857]

Track length: 2.02 miles

Race distance: 80 laps - 161.60 miles

Fastest lap: Niki Lauda - Ferrari [1:21.65]

Quantity

Available in either A4, A3 or A2, our photograph of Carlos Reutemann's Ferrari 312T2 is printed on professional colour paper from the Fuji Crystal archive range.

The print has a gloss finish to it, which accentuates the colour giving it a punchy, rich feel.
Packaging

To protect our photographic prints, we carefully roll them within sheets of acid-free tissue paper and use tough, durable cardboard tubes to package and post them.

Receiving your photographic print

Printed on high-quality, C-Type Fuji Gloss paper, prints will tend to hold their curl when unboxed.

While some people advocate ‘reverse rolling’ to flatten their prints, we would not recommend this as the print can be easily damaged, creased or dented.

To flatten your photographic, please follow the steps below:

Find a clear, clean space big enough to fit your print and where it can sit undisturbed for a few days while it flattens out.

Carefully unroll your print and place it face down onto your clean space. If the ends of the paper try to curl under, simply place a large, flat piece of cardboard on top to encourage your print to lay flat.

Depending on the humidity of the room, your print should begin to relax and flatten between 24 and 48hrs. Once flat, store your print flat.
While we do not sell or supply frames for our photographic prints, we have experimented with various styles for our own collection.

In our opinion, we would always recommend using a box frame to frame your print. We love the way box frames dramatise our photographs and screenprints.

You'll find A4, A3 and A2 box frames available to purchase online. The box frames we used were purchased via Amazon.
