February means the Bathurst 12-hour race will be on in a few weeks and if you have petrol in your veins then Mt Panorama's circuit is the place to be. Apart from the big, fast and noisy cars there are small, fast and noisy ones as well. These Formula Vee racers showed some fast and furious action around the mountain in 2011. Pit crews worked hard all weekend and the adrenaline was kicking in on the track when the main race was on. Cars - easier to photograph when they are stopped!
These images will be appreciated by the 'rev heads' amongst us. Watching it on the TV is as far as I'll go.
ReplyDeleteNot a car race fan but these are fine shots, I especially like the top shot, somehow it looks loud if that is possible.
ReplyDeleteit was! I like it because they are racing so close together, it's all wheel to wheel and breath-holding as they go into the next corner...
DeleteGreat shots, especially like the top down one. Very good.
ReplyDeleteM.
You got some great shots there...the bottom shot is the classic race look
ReplyDeleteYou captured the excitement of the day perfectly! Love the shot where you are looking down on the guys fixing the car! Very cool perspective!
ReplyDeleteJohn wants to be there . . . we get to four sets of vintage races per year, but winter is just dreaming of the smell of race fuel and noise of the rumbling engines.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Hard to imagine four cars being that close as seen in that top one!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and it looked like an exciting day.
