Benjamin Freudenthal is drawing since his childhood. Fascinated by the magic of aviation scenes depicted on his childhood model boxes, his heart is between airplanes and cars. He explains that in a successful painting, the landscape is more important than the subject : "If you can feel the air temperature, the time of day (to the hour), and the speed of a car, then you are in the presence of a high-quality painting. The originality of the composition is also a determining factor to the final success".

We are in July 1958. The practice session of the Grand Prix of Reims is in full swing in an overwhelming heat. The show is on the track and in the stands. Mike Hawthorn is about to set the best time on his Ferrari Dino 246. To his right we see Caroll Shelby on a Maserati 250F and behind him, Maurice Trintignant on a Cooper. In the pits, it is an anthology of all the protagonists of the formula 1 of the 50s. The specialists will be able to recognize all the big names (not only the drivers). This Grand Prix is the last one of Fangio who puts an end to his career and it is also the last one of Luigi Muso who will kill himself during the race.
