Kévin Estre Poster Series
Overview
As a huge motorsport nerd especially when it comes to the GT3 enduro scene – I wanted to bring a bit of that energy into my workspace. The goal was to create a trio of motorsport inspired prints that would look sharp in an office setup and reflect my passion for racing.
After months of searching for the perfect artwork, I came up short. The stuff I liked either wasn’t available in A1 poster size, didn’t ship to Australia, or had shipping costs that made no sense (as in super duper expensive). So, I decided to take matters into my own hands

The Problem
There was a clear gap in the market for quality, minimal yet bold motorsport wall art, especially for GT3 fans in Australia. Most of what’s out there is either overly commercial, poorly designed or impossible to get without spending a small fortune on shipping (costing almost more than double the product itself).
I wanted something clean, large format (A1) and cohesive as a set, something I’d actually be proud to hang on my wall.
Approach
Using my background in design, I created a custom three piece print series celebrating Kévin Estre’s most iconic endurance wins, the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, 24 Hours of Spa and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The set features stripped back artwork with just enough detail to be instantly recognisable to fans, but bold enough to stand as design pieces. I did all the research, deep etched the cars, tweaked the liveries and set everything up for large format printing. They now live on the walls of my office, framed and looking exactly how I imagined from day one.
Originally, this was a passion project just for me, but after posting them online, the response was wild. I even got a shoutout from Kévin Estre himself. So now, I’m looking at getting these up on RedBubble so other fans can grab a copy for themselves.
Outcome
What started as a personal side project ended up sparking interest from fellow racing fans all over the world. It’s been cool to see how many people connected with it, especially when the guy who inspired it gave it a nod. I’m exploring ways to make the series available to purchase soon, so others can bring a bit of GT3 energy into their own spaces.
Stay tuned – more to come, I might even start a series for all the other celebrated drivers like Matt Campbell, Laurens Vanthoor and the van de Linde brothers just to name a few.
