In honor of Ecclestone's lengthy legacy, Gerry Judah's sculpture is a creative depiction of the progession of F1 race cars over time, with a grand loop supporting several different models of F1 cars from different decades. The sculpture as a whole is massive, standing 114 feet tall at its highest point. It weighs 65 tonnes and supports five F1 race cars, each of which was selected to represent a different point in Ecclestone's career. The cars include the Connaught, which Ecclestone used in his short time as an F1 driver, and the championship-winning Brabham from his time as owner of that team. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Spectacular Sculpture Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create large-scale, visually striking sculptures for public spaces or commemorations. - **Celebration of Legacy Through Art:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create commemorative works of art that honor the legacy of influential figures or moments in history. - **Evolution of Iconic Vehicles:** Opportunity for companies or individuals to create visually compelling displays showcasing the evolution of popular vehicles over time, highlighting historic and technical innovations. ### Where This Applies - **Public Art:** There is the opportunity to create large sculpture installations as feature pieces integrated within the public space. - **Event and Exhibition Design:** Designers can delve into integrating art and graphics to make exhibitions more compelling. - **Automobile Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can put on large-scale shows exhibiting the evolution of their vehicles to show the public what it takes to develop models throughout the ages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Artful Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-m-hybrid-v8.md) - [Life-Sized Block Puzzled Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-f1-car.md) - [Life-Size LEGO Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/McLaren-Formula-1-Car.md) - [Exploded Car Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Porsche-911-carrera.md) - [Auto-Celebrating Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norman-foster1.md) - [Life-Sized Car Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benedict-radcliffe-1.md) - [Artistic Auto Showcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/20th-bmw-art-car.md) - [Electric Vehicle-Inspired Racing Trophies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formula-e-trophy.md) - [Dynamic Car-Themed Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veiled-porsche.md)
