I felt like changing my avatar again, and did a quick websearch to see if I could find an image of the Thierry Thompson print that I have in our livingroom.

This would be it - A depiction of Rick Mears at Indy in May 1991.

The footprint from the shoe that stood on the gas is not as obvious as it would appear to be in that picture. It has no colour at all, it is stamped right into the paper.

Nor does the picture do the actual print any justice. At first glance, it would appear to be a photograph - the attention to detail is so astonishing. Even to the point of reflections on the metal. Ours is framed with a 2" border.
