I have just got back from shooting the Bathurst 1000. What a fantastic race meeting. Here are some shots from the week-end.

Great shots . Really like the podium one too . Well done .

Must say i'm, sick of the look of that rotten team australia car (I wish they would change there name as there reperesentation was a joke ) . .That thing spent more time in the sand than on the track , and brought out the safety car at least twice IIRC .

Very nice stuff, the Shot of Murph is very good, it breaks all the rules, yet conveys some atmoshper of the event, I like it a lot.


Is the Team Australia car an attempt to copy Team Kiwi Racing? But in a Ford?

I was waiting for the Bathurst shots.. Awesome shots you got there.. I can see you did a bit of leg worth to walk all the way around the track. Wished I was there. I guess I'll have to wait for last round at Philip Island. Team Australica car looks like the Australian cricket uniforms.. Not a fan of it at all.. Was an awesome race though. Lots of pileups and crashes.. And of course Holden and Skaife won which is a bonus. Bit of a shame that Murphy got crashed out by Ambrose. He's a good bloke but had bad luck.

Team Australia.. Yet it has a Canadian driver?

Fun event to watch anyway. Thanks for reminding me in the 4th pic, what Lowndes car "used" to look like :lol:

Did you get one later on? The car was a wreck. :D

I love the Murphy and crowd shot too.
Makes me want to look at my Pukekohe photos again. :)

Great shots. I particularly like the shot of the start.. too bad ford didn't finish the same way :)
I too will be at Phillip Island later.. but need to cut my teeth on a few club sprints in the mean time.

Superb shots. One day I'll make it to Bathurst :-).

Thanks for your comments! Yes, the Team Australia car colours do look a bit like the Australia cricket team colour. The car seems to spend more time off the track then on it. I must say that the Bathurst track is way bigger then it looks on TV.

Here is a shot of the Lowndes/Muller car later in the race.

Thanks for the great post! Good to see it isn't just kiwi's that think Murph got a bum steer (so to speak)
:-]
