A Passionate Look at Decades of Motorsport

Since the late 1960s, Luc Joly has walked paddocks, pit lanes, and trackside areas with camera in hand. Year after year, he has become a keen witness to the evolution of motorsport, capturing both the intensity of drivers in action and the distinctive atmosphere of each era.

Today, his photographs form a true visual archive. They document life around the circuits, the behind-the-scenes moments of competition, and allow us to rediscover many now-iconic cars in their original context.

Beyond sporting performance, his images tell the story of a world in constant transformation. They reflect technical innovation, shifting eras, and the passion that drives everyone involved in motorsport. By opening his archives, Luc Joly offers enthusiasts and the wider public valuable access to this shared memory of the circuits.
