Goodwood Track Day Photography
Blustery conditions on Saturday marked the end of the year’s calendar of track days expertly organised by the mighty Salone Events at Goodwood’s motor circuit, but not even Storm Boelo’s arrival along the Sussex coastline could dampen the spirits, or indeed, prevent everyone present from having an absolute blast as they took on the challenge of this historic course.
The hardware on display was a sight to behold, and it was all there for the purposes of putting the proverbial pedal to the metal, despite the inclemency of the weather that day; think a panoply of Porsches, a cavalcade of Caterhams, and a bevy of BMWs, as well as a stunning example of a Ferrari 296 GTB Assetto Fiorano thrown in for good measure too.
I’ve been fortunate enough to shoot motorsport events at Goodwood since way back in 2001, and regardless of the conditions, the potential for evocative images is seemingly endless, and it’s always a true joy to be there. If anything, the rain and darker skies offer opportunities to capture reflections on the tarmac, and water droplets sliding languidly down the bodywork of these thoroughbred mechanical beasts.
It’s also worth pointing out that these track days are open to members of the public to view, so if you’ve got even a passing interest in all things automotive performance, then they’re well worth a visit.
Congratulations to Bernadette and the team at Salone for putting on such an amazing session, and I can’t wait for next year’s instalments!
