I started taking photos of motor sport in 1992. The event was the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Since then I have followed many forms of racing. These have been such events as Superbikes, Saloon Racing, Legends, Sidecar, A1 GP and Truck Racing. I mainly attend Brands Hatch as this is the nearest circuit.

24hr Le Mans

What an event to cover!

I would recomend this event for anyone who is interested in endurance races. You need to have endurance yourself to stay up for the entire race. Also a cast iron stomach if you are going to attempt to eat the food that is on offer there.
