I use this openness to try capturing as much as I can, trying to tell a story about the event. Although I think I may still be trying too hard to shoot the cars, rather than capture the atmosphere. Maybe my images do tell a story? I’ll let you all be the judge of that.
Tiny Austin Special, I’d love to take one for a spin round the track, not literally though.
This Formula V will need a bit more than a tweak to be back on track.
Vincent Single powered racer. originally from Australia. The owner/driver used to watch it race as a young lad. Always good to hear stories behind the cars.
Tiny Austin Seven special cockpit, small, simple, what more do you need?
Clutch problems hampered Michael Harvey’s Austin.
Paddock conversations around this awesome little racer.
Owner/driver Christian Pedersen waiting for his next Historic 750 Formula race.
First lap fun at Druids in the 750 Club Hot Hatch championship.
A bumper hanging off doesn’t slow you down.
Check the electric cut-off switch on this vintage Austin Seven Special racer.
This little racer reminds me of the wonderful Auto Union Type C & D cars, albeit a lot smaller.
Should have gone before he started the race.
Awesome 911 looked like it’s been driven properly, wearing its battle scars with pride. Dash was full of well-used rally equipment.
Rubber band suspension on this Vicent powered racer, better than springs apparently.
A small ask from me
I hope you have enjoyed this article and my images. If you have, why not directly contribute to my artistic growth and encourage me to explore new creative avenues by clicking on the button and buying me a coffee?
Many thanks, Dereck
