Race Retro 2012

Race Retro 2012

The end of February every year sees Race Retro take over Stoneleigh Park near Coventry. The highlight for me is the live rally stage – a chance to get up close to some classic Group B rally cars as they are diven like their makers intended. No hermetically sealed garages here, just hot exhausts and squealing tyres.

Enjoy some shots from the event in the slideshow below and scroll down a bit further for some behind the scenes trackside video.

Rallying in the Rain

Rallying in the Rain

Last month, I spent a weekend getting up close and personal with some classic rally cars as they hooned around a wet and muddy Stoneleigh Park.

It was all relatively low speed stuff on a tight tarmac circuit full of 90 degree turns but Race Retro is a great opportunity to get close to the action.

This selection was shot in a mix of manual and shutter priority mode

The weather was appalling, but it didn’t dampen anyone spirits and everyone knows rally cars look better in the rain!
