Automotive Art – Brian Caldersmith’s “A Range of Ralts”

Ron Tauranac’s Masterpieces Artwork

Australian artist Brian Caldersmith paints a tribute to Brabham/Ralt designer Ron Tauranac

As probably the most successful designer/builder of racing cars, Ron Tauranac was celebrated at a historic race meeting at Eastern Creek in Sydney which payed tribute to the man and his cars. This watercolor was used as a poster and program cover for the meeting. The original painting was presented to him at the official dinner. Ron was made an “Officer of the Order of Australia” (AO) in 2002—the country’s second highest award.
