Type Schrift is honored to offer the opportunity to take home a piece of Original Motorsport Artwork. But more so, honored to be the current Caretaker of such a rare piece of surviving history.
There are certain eras in motorsport that feel untouchable in hindsight. The Group C years sit firmly among them an arms race of engineering, and speed. An Era of dominance that would never quite be replicated again. This piece captures that moment at its peak.
Front and center sits the unmistakable silhouette of the Sauber-built Mercedes prototypes, machines that defined the closing chapter of Group C supremacy. In 1990, the Mercedes-Benz C11 didn’t just compete. It overwhelmed the field, securing Championships in commanding fashion, winning 7 of 8 races entered and cementing its place among the most dominant endurance cars ever built.
But what makes this image special is not just the result. It’s the grid behind it. Jaguar. Porsche. Nissan. All present. All chasing. All bastions of Motorsport Greatness.
And yet, the Silver Arrows remain just slightly out of reach, cutting through the field with a kind of clinical precision that defined the era. Framed with the 1990s period-correct typography and subtle Mercedes branding, this piece reads less like decoration and more like documentation a preserved snapshot of a championship already decided before the checkered flag fell.
A reminder of when endurance racing wasn’t just competitive, it was decisive.
Owning a Type Schrift piece like this in itself is a very special occasion for one. But through Type Schrift, this piece has now been preserved eternally for many. With our high-resolution documentation of this piece now,
we hope that even after this artwork is sold, this can act as an Authentic Reference Standard for Motorsport Enthusiasts of the future.
