The World Time Attack Championship was probably my highlight of 2011, and we got a great opportunity to make some nice images. I’d have to say my highlight was this shot by Foy, of Mad mike blowing up his diff. Great timing!
I didn’t miss out on the action either…
And captured some of the most amazing time attack cars from around the world, like these two FD3S RX-7s from PanSpeed and Revolution.
Local meets such as the Downshift Invitational brought some incredible cars out of the woodwork! Check out Tom’s EG and David’s AP1. Clearly, red cars go faster.
This one of Charlie’s MX-5 was shot at the first Streetkarnage street meet.
Shooting for the Porsche Club of Queensland allowed me to get out to most of their events. PCQ is a very active club, hosting a series of motorsport events for their members, from drags to circuit, to time attack.
Being one of my oldest car friends, Sam was kind enough to bring out his dad’s GT3 for me to shoot.
After WTAC, Foy lined up a shoot of the world famous HKS CT230R.
And while he was doing that, I took out their wild R35 race car!
Winning the annual Corolla of the Year competition run by RollaClub, Foy and I collaborated on shooting OKE20.
Hanging out with mates has always been central to the Downshift agenda. Indirectly, this has also allowed us to spend a bit of time talking cars, spending time in garages. Well, maybe just those that we could fit into.
And in the countryside.
And at the drag strip.
And at the track.
We’ve also been lucky enough to even be able to shoot on-track on occasion!
