Racing Division Showcase, Goodwood Annual Publication

The Goodwood Annual Publication is out and Racing Division's Hans Sure's fine art paintings take center stage. This year Goodwood is, like most other racing venues, celebrating the 50th anniversary of both the Cobra and of Shelby American, Inc. Instead of mimicking everyone else by using vintage black and white photography, Goodwood has decided to publish the work of Hans Sures and his work depicting the early days of Shelby American.

Cover celebrating the Queen's 60th anniversary.

Carroll Shelby & Bob Bondurant Portraits

New from the studios of Racing Division Inc are portraits in progress of two great American racers. The legendary Carroll Shelby (portrayed in his iconic overalls) and Bob Bondurant (portrayed in his blue & white helmet). Both paintings are done by Racing Division's Hans Sures out of his London Studio.
