Brands Hatch '76
In the roar of the engines, the swarm of cars chasing through shimmering fuel over the glowing asphalt of the first straight, Regazzoni's car begins to turn against the direction of travel after contact with a teammate, colliding with Hunt's McLaren, tires smoking, fuel burning, gradually burning saffron red, scorching holes in leather jackets, thrown away by raging drivers in the dark pools of oil in the meadows and gradually smoldering out.

Blackbird from Seattle, Washington, led by creative mind Nicole Miller, sees itself as a fragrance and design experiment in products and installations. Aaron Way's "Moto Oud" first appeared in 2013, was discontinued four years later and relaunched in 2021 due to recurring demand. The fragrance is actually supposed to depict the smell of a motorcycle adventure in the Mojave Desert that ends abruptly, a burnt clutch, smoking rubber seals and cracked leather.
My associations were more in the direction of tire abrasion (burnt rubber) and shimmering gasoline vapors (vetiver) over hot asphalt (oud), before saffron and leather come to the fore, smoking (pink pepper, vetiver, oud) at first, before the gasoline-like, rooty vetiver increasingly asserts itself in the base, suggesting the black puddles of oil in the meadows at a Formula 1 racetrack.
In terms of volume, "Moto Oud" is much more moderate than the 1976 British Grand Prix, but lasts a good deal longer than the race lasted until it was initially abandoned:
