Large framed giclée print, edition of 30, 98cm by 98cm

The Karussell is part of Rachael Clegg’s Nürburgring series, in which every image illustrates a story about Europe’s most treacherous, twisting, challenging racing circuit. All images are designed by Rachael and shot - on location - by Ian Parry at the epic Nordschleife circuit. Each image ‘recreates’ a specific event in the Nürburgring’s history at the exact spot that event happened.

The story:

Known as ‘Caracciola’s Karussel’ this section takes its name from Ringmeister Rudoph Caracciola, who won the very first car race held at the Nurburgring in 1927, driving his super-charged Mercedes SSK, known as the ‘White Elephant’. 

A precise and strategic driver, Caracciola shaved valuable time off his laps by ‘hugging’ the inside of the bend’s drainage ditch. Eventually, the ditch was made into a banked ‘carousel’ and named after the Nurburgring’s inaugural winner.
