Photo of the year - and my inspiration

For my photo of the year of 2009 it was not a tough choice for a change, so its back to July and the start of the 1st Group C race of the Silverstone Classic. I had this shot well planned out, had my space reserved for an hour beforehand and shot 45 frames as the cars approached, but its the 1 below that came out best


And the image I had in my head that I wanted to recreate, somewhere I have this on VHS, bit grainy now but still magic. It was filmed from the first corner at Fuji Speedway in Japan, but the cars appearing from the heat haze is amazing



And onto a new decade, and more events!
