750 Motor Club Brands Hatch

Following on from the hearty 911UK breakfast earlier, we took a short drive over to Brands Hatch to watch a fantastic mix of club racers. The line-up of vehicles racing included the 5Club MX-5 Cup, 750 Formula, Classic Stock Hatch, Formula Vee, Historic 750 Formula, Hot Hatch, Locost, Toyota MR2, RGB Sports 1000, Roadsports and Sports Specials. Quite an eclectic line up which certainly made interesting viewing. Another great feature of these lower formula events is full access to the paddock and pit areas, which is great for photographers.

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.

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

Over 80 Porsches, spanning all types and eras, created a visual and aural treat for everyone who braved the weather.
