Tim Schenken: The Technical Master at Kyalami.

Tim Schenken remains one of only a handful of Australians to have stood on a Formula 1 podium, and 1972 saw him at the height of his powers. This tribute captures Schenken at the 1972 South African GP, where he campaigned the Surtees TS9B with his signature grit and precision.

The artwork showcases the quiet intensity of a driver who was as respected for his engineering mind as he was for his speed. For fans of Southern Hemisphere racing history, this print is a vital tribute to a man who helped put Australian motorsport on the global map.
