Yeah! Something I want to try again too... either that or enduro bikes...
Great series!
Smaching action! Nice panning and lots of dirt flying!
Absolutely love the buggy shots! And the Ford Ka as a racer is very cool too! 8-)

good job on the photos mate. Always nice to see some cars. I know this is the sort of racing I should probably set my sights on realistically, but the racer in me wants to do something serious, and when I see a ford KA in a "race, bang goes all credibility.

Thanks guys...
Craig - To be honest I think this is actually better for shots than things like F1, Touring Cars etc... I doubt you'll have much luck getting the organisers to get you right next to the track to get to take shots like some of these.
Rallying is your best bet I'd say. It's like football photography, the glamour may be photographing Man Utd but you can get so much closer and better access to amateur and semi-professional leagues so the opportunities are more varied...

But yeah for photography it can provide a lot better shots. If nothing else its something differant instead of the same thing lap after lap of F1 lol.

Are you offering your photos for mags and such? football ones, you should look at moving up to the bigger games. League 1 games are quite easy to get a press pass for,.
