This is a watercolour painting created from a photo taken by Michael Barrett. In the painting you can see Gordon Shedden in his Championship winning Honda Yuasa Racing Civic. The photo was taken at the first round of the British Touring Car Championship in 2012 at Brands Hatch Indy. The painting is signed by Gordon Shedden.
Gordon Shedden started his British Touring Car career in 2001 in a Ford Focus in the Production class. Then there was a gap until 2006 where Shedden did not feature in the Touring cars instead racing in the SEAT Cupra Championship in 2003 and 2004 and the Porsche GB Championship in 2005. In 2006 he took his first win at Oulton Park. Shedden raced for Team Halfords from 2006 until 2008 finishing 3rd overall in the championship in 2007. In 2009 Shedden started the first round with Team dynamics but was replaced by James Thompson and Johnny Herbert for the rest of the season. Shedden signed for Clyde Valley Racing before Snetterton and raced a bio-ethanol SEAT Leon for the remainder of the season. In 2010 Shedden signed for Honda Racing and in 2012 he had his greatest season winning the British Touring Car Championship.
The painting measures 8 inches by 6 inches.
