I am jealous. Of the photo, the opportunity to drive with Danny and the opportunity to design the suspension and steering of such a vehicle...

Thank you! It was an amazing period in my life.

The roughness of this course as seen here looks pretty scary !

Well, like any photojournalist I choose my angle to tell the story I want to tell. I was stood down in a hollow specifically to get the rocks in the foreground. The course does get pretty roughed up during the day, but not this rough.

It's a panning shot, one of several from a burst as you might imagine. Actually I used the wrong image, I meant to put up this one:



This is a more "honest" documentary shot, taken as the light was fading and thus with heaps of pan and zoom blur:



The mud here was spectacularly adhesive - the cars can pick up nearly 100kg of mud as they run around. In shots like these I realize why rally doesn't get the sponsorship of Formula 1; about 20 seconds in, the sponsors all become invisible...
