Tony Brooks, (50) short-nosed Ferrari Dino 246, at the Gasometer. Monaco Grand Prix 1959.

At the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix, Tony Brooks pilots his number 50 short-nosed Ferrari Dino 246 through the Gasometer turn. The single-seater car, with its prominent wire-spoke wheels and side exhaust, navigates the paved track past a stone wall where spectators are gathered. Advertising banners for COINTREAU and TOTAL line the circuit, evoking the classic atmosphere of mid-century motor racing.
