Euro Drifting Championship at Knockhill – 17 May 2009

// May 17th, 2009 // No Comments » // Cars, Motorsport

Never been to a drift event before so went along for the morning to see what it’s about and get some shots. I wasn’t prepared for the two up format but made it more interesting to watch and a challenge to photograph! Learning experience all round and more practice required.

Also a few pics from the supporting series’, one of which was Time Attack (didn’t get a programme or schedule).

Will spend more time next time…

Scottish Motor Show 2009

// May 9th, 2009 // No Comments » // Cars, Motor Shows

Parked the car, it started raining, it rained some more, it got heavier, it eased off. It got windy, it rained some more, it rained a bit more, the rain slowed, the rain got heavy again, the wind got up a bit more, the rain settled to a moderate level as did the wind. Is that the sun over there…? Nope. It rained for over two hours. Relentlessly. Wetly. Coldly. I gave up and went home.

There were cars there, they too were wet and cold.

Sorry there’s not more pics. It was wet and cold. As was I.

What an event! If you can beat the traffic and park closer than two miles away, a great day is sure to be had at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. If you’re a petrolhead and have never been, you really are missing something incredibly special.

IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN – GO THIS YEAR!!!

It doesn’t have the history, charisma or features of some of the other circuits but what a great place Bedford Autodrome is to track your car and safely take it closer to it’s limits. Thoroughly recomended for a trackday and although I’ve never done one, I’ve heard very good things about the corporate driving days.
