He was quite KO when he got out of the car, and stayed minutes with the medical crew. But he was aware, and I think everything gone well

I have an eerie feeling that's Jame Hunt's old wheels. Wasn't he 24 with Hesketh? No matter what this car's past, I hope it still has a future! Fantastic capture of the moment - not nice to see but perfect case of right place at right time...

But was sooo happy to see it was ok

wowo, quite a sight!
these all those smaller races that go on before the F1?
Do you know how long it takes the race organisers to set up for the races in Monaco at all? always wondered...

It's the Historic Grand Prix which takes place every 2 years, 1 or 2 weeks before the GP.
So yes, these are smaller races (between 10 and 15 laps), but still awesome to watch! As you can see they are racing as hard as the normal GP!
Here, everything is prepared months ago. I remember seeing the first GP things (stand, etc...) in february...

when i was there there were speed bumps on the pit straight and no tyre marks anywhere...do they clean the streets after?

Yup, just after the GP everything is cleaned!

This shot wasn't taken at one of those exposition races where classic car owners get there classic race cars out and show them off is it? I really hope not.
Where was this taken... Monico?
Where ever it was taken... GREST shot!!!

Something like that, but it's a Historic Grand Prix.
So the cars are racing (hard), and the owners/drivers know the risk
But it nevertheless hurts to see this...
Yup, taken in Monaco

He got hit by another car
Or he hit another car, I didn't really see what happend with the eye in the viewfinder

that shot is incredible! Its interesting to see at which point the driver decides to take his hands off the wheel.
I take it that this was a multi shot capture and this was the one you chose or were you just lucky? great work

Got lucky enough to take 3 shot: one just before when he get hit by the other car, that one and an other one just after.
I will maybe upload them, but they are not as interesting as that one

yeah i can imagine!! Its just an unreal sequence...you should upload them in like a film strip edit with the 3 side by side...that'd look good!
