Dave Charlton strapped into the legendary Lucky Strike McLaren M23 (#1) while the mechanics give it a final check on the Kyalami grid back in 1975. Just behind him, you can see Tony Martin's #15 BP-sponsored Chevron waiting for the off.
The M23 is easily one of the most successful F1 designs of the 70s, and seeing it in full local livery out in the sunshine is just brilliant. Ben van Rensburg captured the pre-race grid tension perfectly here, you can practically hear the engines warming up.
If you want to add a serious piece of local racing heritage to your garage or office wall, the high-res print is officially live on the shop.
