Lot 554

Antique, Fine Art and Collectables auction held on Wednesday 22nd of October 2025

An interesting collection of ephemera (mainly photographs) of the disastrous Formula Two race that took place in Israel on November 22nd 1970. (There was controversy surrounding the race which was abandoned after just one lap as the proximity of the spectators to the track raised serious safety concerns for the drivers. Ultimately, the F2 drivers collectively refused to race but fearing a riot if the event was completely cancelled, they agreed to a single-lap procession at reduced speed before abandoning the race and leaving the circuit.)
