Northern Off Road Club Comp Safari at Manby Motorplex

Mud! I love it. So spending Sunday afternoon ankle deep in the stuff, traipsing round an old airfield, one eye on unexploded bombs and the other on beastie 4x4 monsters is my idea of fun.


Only a few miles away at Manby Motorplex (yours for £3.5 million) was the 'Northern Off Road Club Comp Safari'. I’ve done some motor sport photography before, a rallying event at the same venue last year and several trips to nearby Cadwell Park, this however was quite different.

With the racing much slower, apart from on a few straights panning wasn’t really going to be doable. Plenty of splattering mud leant for more interesting shots than what a simple pan on a tarmac straight could offer.

Also, you got free reign of where to go. No barriers or restrictions meant your life was in your own hands, as Weebs found out after he moved away from the outside of a bend only for the next car to fuck up and plow straight through where he was stood. Yikes!

I managed to get a few shots… as always with things like this, a lot of the same! But if you like this kind a thing I hope they will be of interest.
