Benjamin Freudenthal is drawing since his childhood. Fascinated by the magic of aviation scenes depicted on his childhood model boxes, his heart is between airplanes and cars. He explains that in a successful painting, the landscape is more important than the subject : "If you can feel the air temperature, the time of day (to the hour), and the speed of a car, then you are in the presence of a high-quality painting. The originality of the composition is also a determining factor to the final success".

During the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix, the Lotus Climax of Stirling Moss returned more than thirty horses to the powerful "Shark nose" Ferraris of Phil Hill and Richie Ginther. However, he will overwhelm them and keep them away, steering "at the limit". As it was terribly hot, Moss had the side panels of his Lotus removed. He said about this Monaco Grand Prix: "In Monte-Carlo, that day, at every corner, at every lap of the circuit, as far as I remember, I tried to drive the fastest as I could, only a hair's breadth from the limit for at least 92 of the 100 laps of the Grand Prix. Driving this way is terribly exhausting; most people have no idea what it's like ..." ("My racing cars and I / 1964")
