This illustration will be one of several by me that will be published in the upcoming publication "QPRS: Grand Prix Racing by the Numbers (1906-1949)". It is a companion coffee-table style book to the previous book "QPRS: F1 Grand Prix Racing by the Numbers (1950-2019)". It depicts Georges Boillot in his Peugeot L76 at the 1912 French Grand Prix on June 26, 1912 at Dieppe. The car was designed by the Swiss engineer, Ernest Henry in addition to Boillot himself. It was the first racing car to employ an engine with a dual overhead cam and four valves per cylinder.
