Images of Speed - 2

Been traveling a bit. Took my camera. Will post images of racing every now and then ...


Fans in paddock, Brands Hatch, British Superbike, July 2017.

 Shakey Byrne, Be Wiser Ducati Panigale R, Cooper Straight, Brands Hatch, British Superbike.

 John Hopkins, Moto Rapido Ducati Panigale R, Druids, Brands Hatch, British Superbike.


Michael Laverty, McAMS Yamaha YZF-R1, Clark Curve, Brands Hatch, British Superbike. I love this shot; the bike is barrelling toward me at about 100 miles an hour and will pass about three feet to my right, accelerating hard. The ground is thoroughly wet, so the riders have gone with full rains. As they cross the white grid marks painted onto the ground, the bike slips sideways. It's a corner that takes commitment and bravery under the best of circumstances; in these circumstances, it takes everything you've got to go fast.
