p.1 #1 · Dunlop 24H Dubai - warning, image heavy


I had the opportunity to shoot at the 24 hour endurance race held at the Dubai Autodrome last weekend, which was great fun. I managed to cover the first practice session on Thursday and the race from 14:00 on Friday, through the night to 14:00 on Saturday.

Here are a few images through the weekend:

Impressive photos. I bet it felt like an endurance session just photographing them. Looks like a neat experience. I don't think anyone will mind the large set - Paul

Impressive is the word here. A captivating documentary and it certainly helps that you could move so close to the action. My absolute favorite here is N° 21, a sublime image.

Thanks Chad - believe it or not I cut things short! Plenty more still to process, but I tend to focus on the faster cars first.
