Simon you make me envious. Would love to get introduced to Motorsport photography.
History!!!! I keep reminding myself go back in time.
Both my father and his brother raced Velocette motorcycles in NATAL in the 1950’s. Racing was in their blood. Oh and my father also was a crew for Sid vd Vyver and my mother worked for him at Blake road motors. I remember those days at Roy Hesketh and Westmeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syd_van_der_Vyver. Sid and his wife Sue, are my god parents.
Anyway would love an intro to a track day or event.
We were also into powerboat racing. Peattie’s Lake, now flooded and called Albert falls dam, was the first 6 hour power boat international race in SA. Gordon Lanham–Love in his off shaw hull with a fancy v8 inboard motor that the media hyped up to having the fuel passed 6 times through shammy leather and Molinari’s new tunnel hull outboard motor were the star of the show. Well the two Molinarie hulls were bought by SAfs and the cat style hull took off in SA. 40-50 odd years have passed and the desire to photograph the new generation of power boat racing seems to have poked that urge.
Sorry about the blab.
Where and when are powerboat races held?
