The Race

The sights and sounds of the race track. Moments of waiting, silence, contemplation. Then frenetic pace, the smell of petrol and rubber. The sound and the sweat. Pride on the line, for the drivers, the mechanics and the supporters. Winning matters, but the experience of it matters more.

Haunted Hills

Track day. Camera. Cars. What can I say but amazing fun, hair-raising, pulse-pumping driving and one or two absolutely beautiful classics on show, including the original A110 you’ll see featured heavily here, as well as a duck tail 911. I guess this is more an impressions collection than anything else. My first attempt at track footage, so you’ll have to forgive the occasional photographic clumsiness, but it captures the impression I think.

Organised by Steve Pizzati of PilotaSportiva and a popular haunt for the Alpine passionné. To be honest, the A110 was absolutely in its element - light, agile, beautiful balance. I’m kind of hooked. Now I’ve started fiddling with my son’s old GoPro and a track day app. There goes the mortgage.
