December 30, 2018 - Automobilist, automotive fine art maker and gallery, has partnered with the Scuderia Ferrari F1 team and Keep Fighting Foundation to recreate one of the most historic moments in Formula 1, Michael Schumacher's title-clinching victory at the 2000 Japanese GP, using Automobilist's signature techniques and approach to meticulously designing artworks by leveraging computer-composed 3D models and digital photography.

Honouring Michael Schumacher’s 50th birthday on January 3, 2019, the limited-edition fine art print is a unique reminder of his unparalleled career. The emotional win in Japan brought tears of joy to fans all around the world, as they celebrated Michael’s first triumph with Ferrari, his favourite and most crucial victory, and also the team’s first driver’s championship title since Jody Scheckter's 1979 win.

Automobilist faithfully recreated this historic scene in meticulous detail to produce a unique artwork in its signature manner that blends 3D models and digital photography to achieve a computer-generated image of awe-inspiring quality. The process took the team of specialist artists, technicians and designers several months, and included the 3D scanning of Michael's Ferrari F1-2000 car and helmet at Michael Schumacher’s Private Collection in Motorworld Cologne.

In addition to the hero artwork that forms part of Automobilist’s signature Unique & Limited Edition of individually numbered fine art prints – available in 3 sizes – is a series of five posters tied to the scenes in Suzuka that day. One of them, depicting a pit-stop in bird’s eye view, is also a numbered Unique & Limited Edition.

The 2000 title marked the beginning of an unprecedented five-year golden era for the Scuderia Ferrari team, with record-breaking Michael Schumacher behind the wheel. And his legacy with Ferrari lives on, because his family perseveres with charitable actions in his name via the Keep Fighting Foundation. A one-off extra-large artwork is to be auctioned by the foundation to help its causes.
