The Cool Racing Photo Thread

[Whiplash]

Pretty simple a thread for any cool or strange pics from the track, rally what ever

ok lets see some pictures just post that are worth spending a bit of time looking at

we all have those priceless pics where the camera man was standing at the right place at the right time to get the 1 in a million photo

i'll kick it off with a few

*goes to find the sprinter roll over crash at bathurst speed weekend 2006*

nasty. here is one I took from in front of the fence (but behind the small barrier) at the final turn coming onto the straight at tsukuba circuit in japan. it's the fastest corner on the track coming off the back straight onto the front straight. this guy lost it and nearly took me out but just managed to avoid the wall. I got nailed with rocks and dirt though.

I think this one is pretty cool too. I took this at Fuji speedway drift circuit.

this is a favourite too. I took this at nismo festival 2007 at Fuiji speedway. all the generations of Nismo Super GT race cars and group A cars too. and a nice winter sunset.

This one I took on the side of a mountain in the tsukuba mountains area. big spot for street drifting on the togue here. some crazy drifters up here doing 3rd and 4th gear entries speeds up around 130 maybe higher on tiny little roads. and I'm mad enough to be standing on the side of it. every time a car came close I nearly wet myself. it is the most scared/excited i've been watching motorsport.

this one is taken on the tomei exrepssway heading back to tokyo. we are having a little street race with mines president niikura-san (not that I condone that type of thing ). The best bit is he is in the mines R35 GTR the very day it was unveiled and we are in a 800ps+ top secret built R34 GTR. pretty cool and probably the first street match up between a 34 and a 35 anywhere in the world.

now, I know these pics have got nothing on the crazy ones like that porsche accident, but it's the best I can do dammit!!!

Thats Alan McNish there...one time F1 man now forgotten entirely, lol

I was there working with a catering company - had a private box looking after some corporates, i managed to get in the pits plenty and even drank champagne from the 3rd place privateers cup - good times. Oh and David Brabhams helmet was an exact fit.

you obviously don't watch any of the sportscar races from europe or america

He is styill rated as the top sportscar driver in the world

lol, i know, and hes won the jackie stewart trophy too.

I meant in f1 circles that is...when was the last time we heard his name, lol.

The helmet was unmistakable. I remember that smash he had at 130R in Suzuka - whoa was he a lucky boy that day. They DNS'ed him for that race if i remember correctly.

Neways, this thread a keeper thats for sure.

Yeh, was just thinking about the race he won the other day in that oil burning car around the clothes line out the back of Sarthe
