This official Dragon Ball art shows us a new side of Goku
The Dragon Ball franchise inaugurated a very interesting section on its official website, titled as 'The Toriyama Files'. This section shares official illustrations and arts designed by the mangaka at some point in his career, but with the particularity that They are only accessible for 24 hours before disappearing. That is why it is recommended to constantly visit the page to enjoy these wonderful drawings.
The most recent illustration that has been shared on the official website of dragon ball allows us to know a New facet of Goku, who seems to have left aside the Martial Arts Tournaments to dedicate himself to being a Formula 1 driver. This is a profession that we never imagined the Saiyan could have, but it suits him very well. In the next lines, we will tell you everything about it.

An official illustration turns Goku into a Formula 1 racing driver
As we have mentioned, this official illustration comes directly from 'the Toriyama files'which is the section that can be found on the website and in which, previously, we have seen other works, such as the early drawing of Goku or also an art featuring Chi-Chi as a child.
On this occasion, the image that the Dragon Ball website has shared is somewhat different, since shows us Goku in a somewhat peculiar professionsince it has been became a Formula 1 driver. And we never imagined that we would see the Saiyan driving one of these vehicles, but the result is quite interesting.
The anime of dragon ball left us with some very good filler episodes, which featured some pretty hilarious situations, like that time when Goku and Piccolo tried to get their driving licenses. And now it makes sense, as it would explain how the Saiyan can drive a Formula 1 car.
In this image we can see Goku in his driving suit and his Formula 1 carwhich is a McLaren MP 4/6 with Honda RA121E V12 engine. As you can see, it is an extremely detailed illustration and where we can also appreciate the commitment that the Saiyan has to the race.
But a rather interesting detail is that, although Toriyama did not stand out for having knowledge of Formula 1 racing, managed to recreate a vehicle that resembled its real version. This is extremely interesting, as it also showed us the author's commitment, as he would later demonstrate with SAND LAND.
It is important to note that this illustration was made by Akira Toriyama many years ago, because would appear in issue No. 46 of Weekly Shonen Jump in 1990In fact, the official date of this art is October 16, 1990.
Although Toriyama was not an expert on cars, he demonstrated his great talent in drawing all kinds of vehicles.
In addition, the website adds a very descriptive and interesting caption, where it comments that this publication of the magazine took place shortly before the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix. At that time, there was not much information or resources about these racing cars, so Toriyama He had to research and study the photographs to be able to have a slight reference and make his drawing.
Despite Akira Toriyama did not specialize in making vehicle illustrations, this He was well known for creating high-quality designs.regardless of the great work and sacrifice it entailed.
It is known that, back in the 2000s, Toriyama started the SAND LAND manga with a fairly simple purpose and pretending that it was a fairly quiet work to enjoy. However, he quickly discovered that he had put himself in a compromising situation, as it was extremely complicated to draw the tank and all its details. But he had already started and had to continue, experiencing a great hell from which he could not turn back at any time. So he was committed and continued forward.
