Very soon afterarriving, a visit to her first race, the Solitude Grand Prix, left herspellbound. Before long, she realised that she could combine her passion forphotography with motorsport and attempt to make her living. The European F2Championship was where Jutta established herself, usually travelling to theraces in her old VW Beetle, taking her photos, driving home through the night,developing the films and making prints, delivering them to her main magazineclient in Stuttgart, and only then getting some sleep. She covered thechampionship throughout its 18 years, meanwhile broadening out into other areasof racing, above all F1.
