"...we'd think nothing of trackside photographers standing close enough for us to clip their toes...and Geoff Goddard was certainly right up there amongst the best..."
- John Surtees, World Champion, 1964

Geoffrey Goddard
Veteran motor racing specialist Geoffrey Goddard shot his first films in 1947-48. He became a full-time professional in the early 1950s, firstly as chief photographer for Motor Racing magazine and In the '60s and '70s he became European Photographer for the American journal Road & Track. His work provides our stunning core coverage from classic venues of the '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and early '80s.

"There were a number of photographers around in those days able to provide a few memorable quality photos and a few others who seemed to have a great quantity of photos. Very few, however, were like Geoff...able to give us both!"
- Phil Hill, World Champion, 1961

Nigel Snowdon
Nigel Snowdon began photographing motor racing in Australia while working as a Qantas engineer. He came to Europe in the early 1960s and has shot beautiful-quality material ever since for myriad publications worldwide, including much work for Autocourse and Automobile Year. The GP Library holds Nigel's material from 1988.

"Nigel Snowdon has been part of the Grand Prix circuit for as many years as I have been in Formula One as a driver and now as a team owner..."
