Denny Hulme keeps his McLaren M14A ahead of Jack Brabham's Brabham BT33 during the opening laps of the shambolic Spanish Grand Prix at Jarama. The organisers decided to guarantee a start to past world champions, and recent G.P. winners. Everybody else would have to qualify for the over-subscribed grid. First teams were told practice wouldn't be timed, but qualifying would be. They then reversed their decision after the fact. Drivers had their cars wheeled to the grid, before being told they didn't qualify. Heated arguments delayed the start, before the field was given the green flag. On lap 1 Jackie Oliver's BRM suspension failed, crashing into Jacky Ickx's Ferrari 312B, the impact puncturing the Ferrari's fuel tanks, and engulfing both cars. Both drivers escaped, though Ickx suffered nasty burns to his back. Marshalls sprayed water on the cars initially, spreading the burning fuel, before using foam to quell the blaze. The race continued, many drivers spinning on the 'foam rink', one being Brabham who spun twice, but still charged up to second place, reeling in leader Jackie Stewart, until the Brabham's engine failed. Hulme would retire on lap 10 with ignition trouble.

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.
