The Nordschleife has been one of those circuits that I've dreamed of shooting for a long time now. I was over at Spa this weekend, and the opportunity arose to shoot the VLN Endurance Championship race on the famous circuit. Arriving in the hammering rain, with only shorts and t-shirt wasn't ideal, but with the help of a bin-bag, I was able to fashion a modicum of waterproofing, for my shoulders at least! Still, it drew some funny looks from a lot of the locals, sat in their gazebos, or under tarps.
The race was wet from start to finish, which didn't make exploring on foot the easiest, but nevertheless, the rain was good for something, as it threw up a lot of spray, and added to the atmosphere of the event.
1) Karussel - Surprisingly difficult to make a shot here.

2) A Zakspeed prepped SLS which was on the money all through the race, and looked fantastic

3) My first time shooting GT Cars, and my word, they look and sound fantastic

4) Trying desperately to fit in some of the tradmark grafitti.

5) The gloom opened up for a moment to reveal some of the background

6) Trying to find a little colour

7) Lights ablaze - I wish I had more opportunity to shoot this sort of thing in the UK

8) Finishing with a little bit of light, and a Falken Porsche.
