About this paint

Yasser Shahin and Garnet Patterson will deputise for Mike Price and Callum Macleod at the Silverstone 500 on April 25-26.

Yacht racing commitments prevent Optimum’s regular #3 combination from contesting the three-hour season opener. The team has therefore turned to an Australian duo, albeit one with existing connections, to bolster its assault on British GT’s blue riband event.

Shahin is an experienced and accomplished amateur whose CV includes a Le Mans class victory, runner-up spot in the FIA WEC, and two GT World Challenge Australia drivers’ titles. He was due to race for Optimum in 2020 before the global pandemic derailed a confirmed GT World Europe programme.

He has previously partnered Patterson in GT World Australia and Asian Le Mans, while both are also regulars at the Bathurst 12 Hour – an event Patterson contested with Optimum and McLaren earlier this year. It’s there that the opportunity to deputise for Price and Macleod at Silverstone was first discussed.

Shahin and Patterson’s entry joins Optimum’s other three full-season cars at Silverstone. Morgan Tillbrook is joined by Ben Barnicoat, reigning GT4 champions Marc Warren and Jack Brown make their GT3 debuts together, and Luca Hopkinson partners Josh Stanton in the team’s sole Artura GT4.

Retired from a career in IT, and now have time on my hands to try stuff like painting race cars. I have done a number of commissions for others, so if you want a paint made either from scratch or a favourite real life car, message me via this platform. I reproduce car liveries from real life cars for the entertainment of the many many fans of those teams and drivers, and am happy to take a look at any suggestions for liveries for anyone looking to emulate their hero.
