Before the drift, there was grip …
Between the drift action on Sunday, Mondello Park organised a ‘Track Versus Time Attack’ time attack to see which class would set the fastest time around Mondello’s national loop. Brendan Stone in the Trackday Performance Evo VI set fastest time of the day at 59.3 seconds, but the pace of the cars was astounding. Was interesting shooting grip as 90% of the track action I shoot is drift. I found that getting nice, clean sharp images is much easier compared to drifting as the cars move in a more predictable manner. I will definitely try get out for another round before the year is out ! More photos of the other competitors after the jump …
Car Feature >> Alan Sinnotts WKD Imports SR-86
Originally seen on Speedhunters.com When Rod asked the staff to come up with an ’86 related feature for 86 Day, I admit I did have to spend some time considering what to shoot. Ireland has quite an illustrious past with the wee hachi-roku, most commonly refered to as a ‘twin-cam’ or ‘cam’ in these parts. My first plan was to roll back the years on some of the most famous ’86s that have emerged from this small island. DMac’s infamous Falken car and Eric O’Sullivans F20C Rockstar car would obviously be the most recognisable but there have been some other gems that you may never heard of. This car above is one of them.
