PETER SCHREIBER photographs ‘The Fastest Porsche of Africa’ for RAMP – the 911 Turbo of Franco Scribante – on the Killarney Motor Racing Circuit

RAMP magazine presents the PORSCHE special : “Cape of Good Grip: Photographer Peter Schreiber and the fastest Porsche in Africa. Things are revving up in South Africa – and that with very classical monochrome flair. Well, at least in the impressive photo spread by Peter Schreiber, who just recently captured the unique 911 Turbo of Franco Scribante.” Here on GoSee, we present you the spread and give you a glimpse of the interview.

RAMP: What makes it the fastest Porsche? Can you be a little more specific?
Peter Schreiber: In fact, there is no other Porsche in Africa that has been so elaborately tuned – even Porsche didn’t know about this car until recently… with a power output of 950 hp and a top speed of 360 kph!

So, what’s the story behind this car and its owner?
Aldo Scribante was and is a motorsport legend in Africa – the Scribante Racing Circuit in Port Elizabeth is also named after him. His son Franco Scribante strives for the same and has therefore gathered a team of experts and mechanics around him. As an extremely ambitious team player and experienced driver, he manages to win almost every race in Africa!

What was the biggest challenge for you during the shoot?
I wanted to show the uniqueness of this extraordinary car and the enthusiasm for racing in Africa – but without using the usual look of racing photos.

And what was particularly important to you in the photos? What are the shots meant to convey?
The atmosphere in Killarney is always special because the racetrack is seemingly frozen in time: As a spectator, you can be extremely close to the action – much closer than at similar events in Europe.

What made you decide then to photograph the spread of all things in black and white?
For me, black and white is always the big challenge in photography – it reduces everything to the bare essentials. And particularly the warm, but also natural, South African light so rich in contrast automatically conjures wonderful contrasts in the photos.
