A Formula 1 racing-themed backglass. The upper right two-thirds is dominated by a large slanted title, FORMULA 1, in big chunky yellow block capitals with a heavy red-and-black outline and drop shadow, running off the right edge behind an oversized yellow numeral 1. The left third is a bright yellow painted backdrop with a white-and-black open-wheel racing car shown in three-quarter view, sitting on a grey road edged with a red-and-white kerb, and above it a yellow banner with red edging. At the lower left stand two life-size figures on a flat yellow ground: a dark-haired woman in a short red dress with white trim and a red sash, bare legs, and a man in a blue top, white trousers and tall black boots. Between the car and the figures is a red-and-white chequered flag motif. The central and lower-right area is the printed score panel: tall alternating red and yellow columns filled with small black numerals, and along the bottom a horizontal band of blue-and-white chequered squares. Top left has a four-wheel red mechanical score reel window in a pale blue-and-white surround, with tiny print beneath it.
