F3 entering Clay Hill at Oulton Park

F3 entering Clay Hill at Oulton Park – F3 Testing 24th Nov 2009

Another shot from the single seater test session at Oulton Park on the 24th November. A slow shutter speed was used here, 1/25th, hence the amount of blur in the background. The original shot wasn’t quite as angled as this, so it was adjusted in post processing and then cropped a little tighter to put the F3 car into the corner more.

Napier Railton at the Goodwood Revival

Napier Railton – Goodwood Revival 2009

This is a semi-detailed shot of the fabulous Napier Railton, as found in the paddock at the Goodwood Revival 2009.

The Napier-Railton is an aero-engined race car built in 1933, designed by Reid Railton to a commission by John Cobb, and built by Thomson & Taylor. It was driven by Cobb, mainly at Brooklands race track where it holds the all-time lap record (143.44 mph (230.84 km/h)) which stands in perpetuity since the track fell into disuse during the Second World War.
