Tyrrell P34 McLaren 720S GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

One of my previous commission requests was done by Tim. Tim wanted me to make a livery for the McLaren 720S GT3 based on the Tyrrell P34. The history buffs among us know that the Tyrrell P34, which was entered into the 1976 and 1977 Formula 1 seasons, has had 2 different liveries in its history. First, there was a blue/yellow ELF livery. Then, in 1977, there was the First National livery. Both are great liveries, if I say so myself. Ultimately and after a bit of consideration, Tim decided...

Tyrrell P34 McLaren 720s GT3 || ACC Custom Livery Commission

Back in late 2022, I was contacted to convert the UOP Shadow livery, famous from 70s Formula 1, to a modern McLaren 720s GT3. Well, the person who requested said commission was so happy with the result, that he commissioned me to make another 70s inspired F1 livery for the McLaren 720s GT3. Based on… drumroll The Tyrrell P34 First National livery from 1977’s Formula 1, as seen below! The final result can be seen in the video above or the screenshots below.

UOP Shadow McLaren 720S GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

Around Christmas, I was contacted by an American living in Germany. He wanted to commission me to do a livery for his brother who still resides in the States. And, because he didn’t want his brother to be the only dressed in custom colours, he also wanted one for himself too. His choice for a livery based on the Shadow F1 and sportscars of the 70s must be based on nostalgia, but the simple black with red/orange/yellow/white details quickly grew on me too. So much so, that I finished his...

Design: James Hunt’s 1976 helmet (+extra)

James Hunt will always be seen as the “bad boy” of Formula 1. Not only was he famous for his ‘all or nothing’ attitude on track, his off-track escapades might even be better remembered. Hunt entered F1 in the 1973 season for Hesketh, scoring two podiums in his first season (the first being a third place in my country, the Netherlands!). He took his first victory in 1975 (again in the Netherlands) which earned him a promotion to the McLaren team. During the 1976 season, he had a legendary run...

Design: Fernando Alonso’s 2017 Indianapolis 500 helmet

Fernando Alonso. He’s having a hard time currently with the McLaren Honda in Formula 1. The two-time WDC winner with Renault started his career with Minardi scoring points on his debut. Moved to Renault, ended Schumacher’s reign by dominating the ’05 and ’06 season and left for McLaren. At McLaren, he was pushed out by Ron Dennis in favor of the then new talent Lewis Hamilton, only to return to Renault. He was picked up by Ferrari to replace Raikkonen in order to challenge the Red Bulls – a venture...

Design: Niki Lauda’s 1984 helmet

Niki Lauda is perhaps among the top three of the most famous drivers F1 has had, next to Schumacher and Senna. The Austrian driver entered Formula 1 in 1971 and had his last season in 1985. Not only is he known for the three world titles he achieved during his career and being the only one doing so with both Ferrari and McLaren, he is probably best remembered by his horrible crash at the Nürburgring which left most of his face with third degree burns. The title challenge between him...

Design: Alonso’s McLaren Andretti Honda Indycar

I took a break from drawing Ferrari’s, but not from drawing thoroughbred racing cars. After the retro Ferrari 641 (F1) and Ferrari 333SP (Le Mans), we jump to the other side of the Atlantic, and to Ferrari’s long time rivals: McLaren. With Alonso’s shock announcement that he will be driving the Indy 500 this year for a new McLaren entry (in cooperation with Andretti Racing), powered by Honda. McLaren driving the Indy 500 is one with historic significance, as they took part ~50 years ago as well, before they decided...
