Three weekends ago I went down to Salbris south of Paris to see my nephew compete in the final round of the Rotax Euromax championship. He had qualified on pole for the main final and only had to finish within four places of his nearest rival, this was going to plan until his gearbox failed, a very rare occurrance which was hard for him to take.
I had mailed the organisers and arranged accreditation ok, I had a local online news sports website, whose editor penned me a letter in return I was to write a report, something completely new for me, but it seemed to go down well.
Anyway here are a few shots from the day.
1.This lad, Harry Webb beat Max Verstappen last year in karting, one to watch.

3. My nephew Sean driving through the very quick chicane, not a place for the faint hearted to shoot from .
4. A shot from the back of the grid with the KSP photographers at work.

5. A shot from the front of the grid, featuring rising British star Alex Quinn and his Dad sheltering from the sun.

6. The chicane from a different angle, here I had to pre-manually focus on the kerb as there were obstacles on the approach.

8. Technically it could have been better as I didn't catch him mid stream, this was a between the race comfort break from a French marshal....hope it doesn't offend .

It's the World Finals next in Valencia at the end of November, am very tempted to go.
