Better known for it’s field sports, the world re-knowned Wembley Stadium played host to the fourth and penultimate round of the 2010 JDM Allstars series. The entry list was vastly improved upon when compared to previous rounds with only the exceptions of Phil Morrisson and Martin Ffrench being the big absentees. The event was a [...]
A slightly faster update this time ! This was my first ever trip to Santa Pod, a venue I’ve been wanting to visit for quite some time. The event was Rotorstock, a gathering of the UK’s finest rotary powered Mazdas. The event was also host to the fourth round of the 2010 HKS Drag Series. [...]
It’s been a busy few weeks so I’m only getting around to posting these images from Ford Fair now. The event took place at Silverstone and was a massive hit. With an estimated 3,500 exhibitor cars on show, I didn’t even see half of them during the course of the day such was the quality [...]
To celebrate the global AE86 day on August 6th, I met up with Prodrift competitor Dennis Healy who famously piloted the Nexen Tires SR86 with great success. He’s now built this Trueno street car from the track car which had an unfortunate meeting with a tire wall last year. This car has all the right [...]

0 Comments Published by Paddy August 6th, 2010 in Automotive, StaticsJuly 25th saw the Irish branch of the Ford RSOC once again descend on the forecourt of Bolands Main Ford Dealer, New Ross, Co. Wexford. It’s the second year running that Bolands have cleared their showroom and forecourt to make room for some of Ireland’s finest Fords. The quality of the cars was something else [...]
Or the 8/6 as our friends in the US and Japan would say.
Happy AE86 Day folks, be sure to keep an eye on Speedhunters for the full feature above along with a host of other AE86 stories !
I posted a sneak preview of this a couple of months back. Well the feature just hit the shelves in issue #157 of Redline Magazine so you can check it out there. There’s also a brief behind the scenes feature on Speedhunters about the shoot. The rest of the shoot can be found after the [...]
It was quite an honour to view the FIA GT1 World Championship after the weekend and find my photograph as the header image with the subheading of ‘Le Castellet battle hots up’. The image was shot on Saturday afternoon of an energy drinks promotional girl dancing in a swimming pool. I shot the image tight [...]
FIA GT at Paul Ricard / Sunday Pits & Paddock
0 Comments Published by Paddy July 6th, 2010 in Automotive, FIA GTThe final day of the Paul Ricard event started as the others did. Extraordinarily hot. Having agreed with our Creative Director to swap trackside for pits and paddock, I based myself primarily out of the Sumo Power team’s pit garage. This also doubled as the Team NFS garage during the GT3 race. Speedhunters support both [...]
FIA GT at Paul Ricard / Saturday Qualifying & Race
0 Comments Published by Paddy July 6th, 2010 in Automotive, FIA GTThe Saturday of the FIA GT event at Paul Ricard saw me take to the trackside for most of the day. In sweltering 35+°C temperatures, it was a challenge lugging around a 400mm 2.8 prime attached with a 1.4X extender to the 1D. However, Paul Ricard is a vast circuit and even at 500+mm you [...]
FIA GT at Paul Ricard / Friday Practice
0 Comments Published by Paddy July 6th, 2010 in Automotive, FIA GTLast weekend I had the rather excellent opportunity of shooting the FIA GT races at the Paul Ricard HTTT near Marseille, France. It would be the very first time I had ever shot an FIA sanctioned event, let alone the pinnacle of tin-top racing at the most advanced racing circuit in the world. I was [...]
Kitchen Design Award Nomination by Anne Ellard
0 Comments Published by Paddy July 6th, 2010 in CommercialIn an unusual turn of pace, I swapped the racetrack for the warmth of this fabulous kitchen, designed by young Waterford designer Anne Ellard. The design has been nominated for a Kitchen Design Award and I wish Anne the very best of luck with the contest. Some more shots after the jump …
Modified Live // Time Attack // EDC – Brands Hatch
0 Comments Published by Paddy July 6th, 2010 in Automotive, Drifting, Time AttackThe day after JDM at Donny, I was south of London for the third round of the UK Time Attack Series which took place at the Brands Hatch venue in Kent. The particular loop they would be using would be the Indy Circuit, the shortest layout which provided a spectacular and comprehensive view of the [...]
JDM Allstars Donington Alpine Drift
1 Comment Published by Paddy July 5th, 2010 in Automotive, DriftingIt has been a pretty hectic nine days here at PMCGPHOTOs. From Donington to Brands Hatch in one weekend to Paul Ricard the next. I’m going to try and catch up in the next few days with all the images from each event I covered, along with my first interior design shoot which was a [...]
A day of mixed weather graced us at Mondello Park, where the sun split the rocks during qualifying and the heavens opened just as the race began. The event was the third round of the Irish Touring Car Championship and whilst still in it’s infancy has proved to be a major success thus far. The [...]
