WEC Spa 6 Hours Preview

WEC Spa 6 Hours Preview

It seems only a few days ago I was packing up and leaving the Silverstone media centre after witnessing a superb opening race to the WEC 2015 season. If this race was anything to go by, there is a very strong case for WEC to be the premier international motor sport series. What other championship offers the pinnacle of engineering and innovation, close racing, fair … [Read more...]

WEC Prologue 2015

Being a motorsport photographer combines my passions for travel, motorsport and photography so the prospect of driving the length of France was a delight to behold and certainly an adventure to savour. Then, en route to the WEC Prologue 2015, I get the news that Porsche were launching the 2015 919 Hybrid LMP1 to the world press at 13:30 on Thursday 26th March. No more leisurely … [Read more...]

FIA WEC 2014 summary

What a year it has been on the WEC circuit in 2014, with the old order being pushed aside (in a way), and Toyota claiming pole position in the Championship battle at the last race of the season. But before we get all emotional about the winners, let us take a step back and see how the season unfolded in our FIA WEC 2014 summary. After the drivers of the #2 Audi R18 … [Read more...]

Looking back – Le Mans 24 Hours 2014

Every year the trip to the famed Le Mans 24-Hour race in France holds a special place in our hearts. This year we decided to do it differently, and to mix it with the campers! It was a great way of taking in the atmosphere from the spectators’ point of view who were there for a good time and to see their team/driver win! All the national flags were out, music was blaring, beer … [Read more...]

Le Mans 24H 2014

The 82nd Le Mans 24H 2014 endurance race has had one of the most eventful weeks in the lead up to the race on Saturday. Starting on Wednesday in the first free practice session, the #1 Audi R18 e-tron quattro had a massive 'off' in the infamous Porsche curves. Fortunately Loic Duval got out of the car shaken but apparently unstirred, as first reports were that the badly damaged … [Read more...]

Audi R18 hybrid system

For the first time in many years, we have three manufacturers competing in the LMP1 class of the World Endurance Championship (WEC). As the current rules dictate, the LMP1-L class is for cars having no Energy Recovery System and is reserved for privateer teams only. The LMP1-H class is for cars with an Energy Recovery System and has strict fuel consumption requirements … [Read more...]

Silverstone 6 Hours

The opening round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, the Silverstone 6 hours, over the Easter weekend was always going to be a humdinger of a race, and it didn’t disappoint. From Thursday, the first day of the weekend’s events, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation with Porsche’s re-entry into the top echelons of sports car racing. In fact with three top … [Read more...]

WEC season hots up

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...]

REFLECTIONS ON THE GENEVA MOTOR SHOW 2014

In general, the Geneva Motor Show is regarded by most media regulars as the best one to attend, as it is in the words of one journalist, 'small but perfectly formed'. The night before the first press day, Monday 3 March, is usually reserved for a number of different manufacturer events, where journalists can view new models prior to the media unveiling the next day. This … [Read more...]

Looking back – Year end 2013

Year end 2013 - looking back ... the year has all but come to an end, but there will be few I’m sure who would disagree that it has been one of the more exciting years on the motorsport front. For starters, the opening race of the WEC season at Silverstone proved yet again just what a professional outfit the Audi team is, by taking first and second place in the opening race. … [Read more...]
