Final hours of Le Mans 24H 2016

June 19, 2016 by: Virtual Motorpix | 2 Comments

In the final hours of Le Mans 24H 2016 and after twenty hours of nose-to-tail racing, the no.2 Porsche is 40 seconds behind the lead Toyota and just 24 seconds behind the second placed Toyota. From early on in the race, Toyota took the fight to Porsche and it was a three-way tussle throughout the night, with the lead swapping between them in sync with the pit stops. If truth be … [Read more...]

Le Mans expectations

June 10, 2016 by: Virtual Motorpix | 1 Comment

It doesn’t seem more than five minutes since we here last year for the test weekend, but looking back, so much has happened since then. So what are my Le Mans expectations this year? LMP1 is much closer with a big question hanging over reliability and the real, albeit remote, prospect of an LMP1 privateer team being on the top three podium on Sunday afternoon. Le Mans … [Read more...]

Le Mans 24H GTE AM

June 3, 2016 by: Virtual Motorpix | Leave a Comment

Over the last couple of weeks we have looked at the prospects of the 24H GTE PRO and LMP1 classes at the Le Mans 24-Hour race, which takes place in about two weeks time. So, this week it is the turn of the Le Mans 24H GTE AM, guys. While this class caters for one-year old cars driven by Gold, Silver and Bronze drivers, there are also some Platinum drivers here too. Last year … [Read more...]

Le Mans 24H GTE PRO

May 27, 2016 by: Virtual Motorpix | 2 Comments

This week we are looking at the Le Mans 24H GTE PRO class, and who is likely to do what in the forthcoming duel at the Circuit de la Sarthe. Last week we stuck our neck out and predicted a Porsche win in the LMP1 class, so let us examine who stands out in the tightly contested manufacturer GT class. Firstly, we have fourteen cars in the Le Mans 24H GTE PRO class this … [Read more...]

WEC PIT LANE MEMORIES 2014-2016

May 6, 2016 by: Virtual Motorpix | Leave a Comment

Motor races are always about racing cars driving fast, but there is another side to the race which is not often seen but just as important, and that is efficiency in the pit lane. And so we thought that we would bring you a small selection of our WEC pit lane memories and shots from behind the scenes from 2014 to 2016, for your perusal and enjoyment. Working as a … [Read more...]

Silverstone Surprise

April 29, 2016 by: Virtual Motorpix | Leave a Comment

The opening round of the 2016 WEC season delivered a Silverstone surprise on a number of different fronts, from a snow shower to a spectacularly dramatic accident, including a post-race disqualification. The results have been splashed across the covers of numerous magazines and websites, so we thought some of the other achievements would make for interesting reading. LMP1 – … [Read more...]

Le Mans 24H – 3 hours to go

June 13, 2015 by: Virtual Motorpix | 2 Comments

The qualifying sessions of the Le Mans 24H  race week are behind us now, and what a story they tell. After both qualifying sessions, the LMP1 Porsches are literally flying at the front, occupying positions 1-2-3, with the three Audis right behind, followed by the two Toyotas. One would expect the three works Nissans to be somewhere in that mix, but the two Rebellions are next, … [Read more...]

NEW #MiniSeries: Corvette Racing

February 6, 2015 by: Virtual Motorpix | 1 Comment

I have spent the last two decades covering motor races in South Africa, the UK and in Europe. As a result of this activity I have built up a vast archive of images from these events which have been used in publications around the world. Our photo agency, Virtual Motorpix (VMP), was formed in 2010 with the aim of organising this archive and better serving the publishing industry … [Read more...]

WEC season hots up

April 4, 2014 by: Virtual Motorpix | 1 Comment

Two weeks to go until the WEC opening race at Silverstone on 20 April and ten weeks until Le Mans 24H.  Invariably around this time there are teams that had been invited to participate at Le Mans but who drop out for various reasons. One such disappointment is the SRT Viper team who performed so well at Le Mans in 2013, but there are always reserve teams waiting in the wings to … [Read more...]

Silverstone WE Championships – before the big race

August 24, 2012 by: Glen Smale | Leave a Comment

Silverstone...Thursday afternoon - Eventually got connected to the wi-fi system so we're cooking! Have got a photographer's sign-on shortly, then it is off to get some pix around the paddock area, because that is the only place where there is any action today apart from scrutineering. Free practice starts on Friday, 24 August 2012, at 11h30, 16h00 and Saturday at 11h00 … [Read more...]
