Broke my WRC cherry on the gravel stages of Wales. A really good mission down there with @minnnt - driving through the night, to arrive with a couple of hours to walk the stage in the dark sussing out a few shots.
Got to say, the stages in Wales are absolutely fantastic, well manicured for the WRC, but with great views and from a drivers perspective. Conditions were absolutely horrendous, and made for a real test for our kit, but offered up some interesting photo opportunities.
I'd not shot any motorsport in a good few months, and this was the first gravel/forest event for my 5dmk3, so go easy on me!!
1) When the first car of the day is a Polo WRC and its still dark at ISO3200, it's a baptism of fire to get a shot away.
2) One of my usual slow pan efforts
3) The Mitsubishi Mirage R5 being driven very hard
4) Trying hard to work a Silver Birch into the shot.
5) Trees and a car
6) The Polo WRC looks incredible and the handling seemed streets ahead of its rivals. Easy to see why they're dominating.
7) Great to see Meeke driving so well. He looked on it all day long
8) Another Polo - Sorry
Thanks for looking, the full set is available to view on my flickr https://flic.kr/s/aHskoeUev1
