As part of our commitment to shine the spotlight on more up and coming photographers, this we week we are proud to introduce you to the work of Alexis Goure. The 26 year old from Le Mans in France recently graduated from the IAE of Toulouse with a masters in Marketing. However, Alexis is currently focused on developing his career as a motorsport photographer. As you will see from the following, he’s a dab hand at it too…
It’s right back at Daikoku PA now for a final look at the other day’s supercar gathering. During the few hours that I was there I literally never stopped walking around, because as cars left, more kept coming in. By around lunch time the lot was so full that a many were forced to park [...]
As I sit here typing up this post I can’t help but look back at this year with a fair amount of shock at the way it passed by with blistering pace. Time is of course concrete in our human definition, yet entirely fluid in our brain’s ability to recollect it. It seems like only [...]
Here’s to the crazy ones. Here’s to the racers all over the world: the professionals, the amateurs, the once-in-a-lifetimers who get out on the circuit no matter the conditions and do what they love doing, no matter the car, the opposition or the track. Here’s to the teams; there seems to be no such thing [...]
I cannot think of a motorsport event more fascinating than a twenty four hour race stuffed to the brim with GT cars. While spec racing can be entertaining, particularly for the drivers, I find it far more fun to see your favorite marques battling it out for hours. At the Total 24 hours of Spa [...]
While the grid of 64 cars racing in the 60th annual 12 hours of Sebring rolled out one by one for their first practice session, spectators literally ran to the fences as the cars paraded by for their warm up laps. Earlier in the day the Corvette racing team was prepping the C6-R for their [...]
Every race track I’ve been to is beautiful in its own way, and Sebring is no exception. The first thing I noticed was a layer of fog that hovered over the track during sunrise. It was quiet at the track; all I heard were the frogs in the pond nearby and the birds chirping as [...]
Just looking at the grid for this weekend's Sebring 12 Hours should be enough to make any racing fan weak at the knees… An unprecedented sixty-four top-flight prototypes and GTs will be taking part in Saturday's 12-hour race; an event that has a rich heritage. The 12 Hours was first held at the track back [...]
12 hours around Australia’s awesome 6.2km Mount Panorama circuit in the dry would be challenging enough, but the 2012 running of the 12 Hours enduro at the track threw in over nine hours of rain and fog just to make things that much tougher. Come the flag, it was again an Audi R8 LMS that [...]
The #50 AF Corse crew of Francesco Castellacci and Federico Leo held onto their Drivers’ Championship lead at the end of the final FIA European GT3 race of the 2011 season, taking fourth position as the flag dropped at the end of 35 laps of the Zandvoort track – enough to clinch the championship for [...]
There’s just one more race left in this year’s FIA GT3 championship, and today’s first race through the the sand dunes of Zandvoort hasn’t made title outcome that much clearer. The amazing Dutch track is a great venue for the GT cars: it’s fast and flowing, but the narrow twists, cambered corners and swooping elevation [...]
The shadows are lengthening for the FIA European GT3 Championship, as the series draws to a close for 2011 with a pair of races at the legendary Zandvoort track in the Netherlands. Last month at the Slovakiaring Mercedes-Benz became the latest marque to win (with victories in both races in fact) and joined Audi, BMW, Ferrari, [...]
The European FIA GT3 Championship's visit to the Slovakiaring in central Europe, constructed just two years ago, attracted a whole slew of local talent for the weekend's two races. For starters, the British-run #20 MTECH Ferrari featured an all-Slovakian crew, with Jan Danis and Zdeno Mikulasko at the wheel of the 458 Italia. ? Next [...]
Slovakiaring has proved to be a Mercedes SLS track, with the big car taming the jumps and sweeps of this impressive circuit. There was a win for the #44 Heico team car yesterday and then another for Graff Racing’s SLS today – they snatched victory with a rapid-fire pitstop in Race 2, overtaking the similar [...]
? For all the first-time visitors – drivers and photographers alike – the Slovakiaring has been quite a surprise. Looking at the track map, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's super-sized go-kart track with a bland set of switch-backs on a billiard-table smooth landscape. It couldn't be further from the truth… At the [...]
