Sculpture at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2017
This year centrepiece sculpture is a 60t steel circle exploring 'Five Ages of Ecclestone', which are :
- Driver – Ecclestone was a regular racer with 500cc Coopers in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Perhaps underlining the sheer length of his career in motorsport, he entered the Monaco Grand Prix in 1958 in a Connaught.
- Manager – Following his career as a driver, Ecclestone became a manager to Stuart Lewis-Evans and Jochen Rindt.
- Team owner – Ecclestone bought the Brabham F1 team in 1971, partnering with Gordon Murray and working with drivers such as Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet.
- Impresario – From the 1970s to the 2000s, Ecclestone's control of F1's commercial rights fuelled its ascent to prominence.
- Legend – Ecclestone's impact on F1 and the wider world of motorsport is impossible to ignore.

7 年Another masterpiece from Gerry and the design team. I always look forward to their unveiling each year, and enjoyed following many of them being designed and constructed in my days at Capita - and days filming down at Goodwood during their build (I think we started that tradition!) Well done guys
Strong Technical leadership, multi-disciplinary management, and complex interface skills
