TAG Heuer to present a remarkable photographic exhibition dedicated to Alain Prost at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
To mark its second year as the official timekeeper of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, TAG Heuer will be honouring legendary French racing driver, Alain Prost. His outstanding career in Formula One resulted in 51 victories, 33 pole positions and 106 podium finishes between 1980 and 1993. Prost became closely associated with TAG Heuer early in his F1 days driving for the TAG-sponsored McLaren team - with which he secured three of his four World Championship victories.
Last year he returned to the fold of TAG Heuer ambassadors and one of his first, major roles has been to assist The Earl of March in curating the brand's inaugural Festival of Speed photographic exhibition. The photo exhibit will track every milestone of Alain Prost's career, from schoolboy kart racer to the second most prolific Formula One winner in the sport's history.
More than 100 images - many of them never before seen in public - range from the candid to the posed, perfectly encapsulating the agony and ecstasy of F1 competition during one of its most thrilling and glamorous eras. On-track shots ably demonstrate why Prost's super-smooth driving style won him the soubriquet of 'le Professor', while candid photos reveal the respect he earned from fellow drivers and his millions of fans around the world.
The Festival of Speed attracts the top F1 teams, and to date seven 2012-season teams have indicated their intention to attend Goodwood this year. Nowhere else in the world can motor sport enthusiasts get so close to the latest and greatest cars and drivers. Current F1 teams expected to appear this year include McLaren, Lotus, Ferrari, Mercedes, Williams, Caterham, plus reigning Constructers World Champions Red Bull Racing.
