Mike Johnson, Porsche 911 SC Oulton Park May 2005
Again a relatively straightforward shot but the only true “head on” shot in the panel. In my experience because of the spectator restrictions there are not many circuits where an amateur photographer can get such a shot nowadays. One of the problems with such a shot is that a high shutter speed has to be used in order to keep the car sharp. Try working out for yourself how many feet a car travelling at 60 miles an hour covers in a second and you’ll see the problem! In this case I think that the wheel in the air and the tyre smoke still retain the impression of speed although the car is sharp.
