Racers

A selection of photos of some of the characters at last weekend's Barry Sheene Festival Of Speed.Thanks to all the friendly people who chatted to me and in particular the sidecar racers including Dave,pictured,who demonstrated his sidecar piloting position for me.
Bike racers seem to fall into three groups-those who come to the meeting and do barely nothing to their bikes-a very small group- those who constantly adjust and repair - a big group -and finally those who just love working on their bikes and who start taking them apart as soon as they are off the trailer. Representatives of all three groups are featured in the photos.Enjoy.

Less than a month to go....

A reminder to Aussie motor sport enthusiasts that it is less than one month to the 2016 Bathurst 12 hour GT race.This must be by far the best motor sport event in Australia with international and local drivers in GT cars on arguably one of the best and most challenging race circuits in the world. Make the effort -it'll be worth it.Just don't forget your hat,sunscreen and fly repellent.
Here's this years entry list ENTRY LIST .
And here's some race and practice photos from last year's 12 hour.

Racer's heaven

I watched the most exciting motor race I have ever seen in my life last Sunday.The Australian Moto GP at Phillip Island.Words cannot describe it.It was everything modern F1 is not. If you get a chance watch a video of it. Extraordinary.
