The famous Bathurst 1000 started out as a 500 mile race at the Phillip island circuit in 1960, moving to Mount Panorama in 1963. Originally created as a scenic tourist road, it's unguarded drop-offs and blind, plunging corners provided a challenge to the showroom-stock cars, which raced in price-bracket classes. Here, we see the 1964 edition of the race being represented by the Phil Ismay / Bob Skelton Holden EH 179 chasing the Les Park / John Roxburgh Renault - Gordini R8, the Matt Daddo / Keith Russell 850 Mini, and the Jim Bonthorne / John Dando Cortina sporting rear end damage. A field of fifty-six cars started, with just eight not finishing. While modern V8 Supercars complete the slightly longer lap in just over 2 minutes, the fastest lap in '64 was 3 min 21.3 sec.

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to check out my artwork, and learn a little bit about me. I was born in 1982, in Invercarcargill, the deep south of New Zealand. I grew up surrounded by motorsport, the family home just a couple of minutes' drive to Teretonga - the local race circuit, with speedway, Go - Kart and motorcross tracks all within a stones' throw. My father raced Go - Karts in his early years, before taking up Midget car racing at speedway, and there was usually motorsport on the tv at the weekends when I wasn't watching it in the flesh. I started painting with water paints when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Simple stick figures soon evolved to more complex pictures using arcrylics, as I started to experiment with abstract art as well as keeping my hand in with painting racing cars. In 1999 I started racing Go-Karts, and the lack of available time, as well as other interests meant that only a few artworks were completed between '99 and 2006. A couple of years after leaving school I started studying to become an engineer, becoming qualified in 2006. It was after this, that I was gifted some un-needed art supplies, re-igniting my creative flame The first few works I created in this period were all abstract, as I experimented with different shapes and colours. One of them being "Losing time". I put it on display in a Christchurch art gallery, where it was quickly snapped up by a collector, thus fuelling my passion. After that success, I decided to be selfish and reward myself by getting back into motorsport art. I painted "Master McLaren" and showed a few people, and had such an encouraging response, I decided to do more. Since then on the majority of my work has been motorsport based.
