Thanks Rob, yep they use studded tires, don't think they'd make it out of the first turn without them :).

Great shots, never seen anything like it before. Why do they put the big metal fenders on?

I guess it's in case you go down - a set of studded tyres would imagine quite a mess of someone if you ran into them.

That makes sense. Probably wouldn't feel all that great either way but with those tires I'm sure they could do some damage!

These are definitely great. The fight against contrast with a really difficult background is impressive. I have trouble myself with my desert background. With the practically solid white, snow background, I can't even imagine how I'm going to set my camera.
