One of the big attractions of the Autosport Live show at the NEC is the Live Action arena,where 1 of the halls is transformed into an indoor racetrack with everything from grasstrack cars to GT racers in action, infront of more than 5000 spectators for each showing, EDC were putting on a drift demo too...
The cars involved were:
Brett Castle - Nissan S14 Silvia
Tony Green - Nissan 350Z
Mark Johnson - Nissan PS13 Silvia
Mark Luney - Nissan R32 Skyline GTR
Phil Morrison- Nissan S14 Silvia
Despite a small slot, of less than 2 mins all 5 drivers went for long,smoky drifts,in 4th gear on the slippery concrete surface, which made for challenging photos,as with the flashing lights in the hall it was like a nightclub!!
Aswell as being indoors and therefore louder (even had my ear plugs in) it was difficult as it was darker so some exposure time experimentation made for some dramatic shots:
Despite the relatively low work the cars were put through there were still breakages,although nothing too severe
And finally a video I found of the live action show,gives an idea of how fast the guys were going - indoors!!
