Did any fellow R&G Moto4 British Cup riders meet Graham over the weekend? He was asking us all to sign his own personal copy of the #Moto4 British Cup 2026 yearbook he’d made next to your rider photo he’d taken.

He had multiple British Superbike Championship yearbooks for other classes too, what a legend.

Love stuff like this, we have access to so much stuff digitally these days.

You can’t beat a good old photo album.

I suggested he should actually sell them!

TLDR; Highly recommend, if youre okay with a bit of hiking and running around. If youre just going for general admission, I recommend getting there early and finding a nice spot on one of the many hills. Attached at the end of the photo roll is the map with my recommended sections.

Asked some questions about the topic here before, figured Id give my insight upon experiencing it! The track was absolutely amazing, with plenty of spots for photos.

Friday: We managed to sneak into a grandstand, but because not everyone will be able I didnt include those photos. We ended up going to the tall hill by Pouhon, and found a nice area near the top to get shots of the cars entering the section / as they went through it (see photos 3-5). Afterwards we went to the otherside of the grandstand, where there is a smaller hill that just barely clears the fence, but worked nicely for some head-on shots (see photo 2). It was a bit of a trek to get to those spots, and the tall hill had quite a few people on it. Had to wait a while to get a clear shot.

Saturday: Saturday we got there a little late, but we made it work. First spot was up by the Eau Rouge / Raidillion grandstand, at the top of the hill / beginning of the straight. Here there was a spot just off the footpath behind the grandstand, that allowed you a view over the fence. This allowed you limited angles of the cars as they came down the old pit lane straight, as well as up by La Source. I unfortunately dont have any photos ready from those sections, Ill add them once they are. Afterwards we went to the hill along the Kemmel straight, where we were able to get some nice shots of the F2 cars coming up over Raidillion, and panning shots along the straight. Afterwards we walked all the way around the track, looking for a good spot, not finding many. Finally we settled by Campus / Stavelot, next to the grandstands there. I was able to get good shots of the back of the cars going around the turn and onto Blanchimont. However, probably the second best spot I found all weekend, was up between the two grandstands up at the top of the hill. There was a small group of people set up with chairs, less than 10 of them, and when I looked there was a perfectly clear shot onto the short straight into Campus (see photos 1, 6, 7). Along the hill next to the grandstands would probably be a good spot, but it was very busy over there so we didnt try.

Sunday:

Sunday we decided to not do photography during the race (regret it myself, my father simply wanted to watch the race without running around). We watched the F3, F2 and Porsche cup race from a small section on the inside of Fagnes, right before the Verstappen grandstand section began. Here there were photo holes in the fence, and almost no one around. Allowed for some very nice side profiles, as well as rear shots as they went along past the chicane. Highly recommend spending some time in this spot if you can, esspecially if youre a videographer.

Anyways, hopefully this helps someone. Very enjoyable first GP experience, and if youre interested to see the rest of my photos, I have a photographt insta account, yakos.photos

Cheers!

Some shots from T1, eau rouge and raidillon

First time shooting IndyCars at speed. Lightroom saved me a lot from the over and underexposed shots I got while learning how to get panning shots. Any feedback is welcomed!

Shot on Nikon D7100.

Hi all, would love some feedback on my photos! The first 7 are from Le Mans this year, shot on film. The last 4 are from Prescott Hill Climb and shot on my Lumix S5 with Meike 35mm f2. Any constructive criticism welcome! Thanks 😊

Cool race and first time at this track. Hope to be back soon

Since this is my first automotive event, I’d like to ask for some feedback. How do the photos come across, are the frames and editing interesting enough to catch your attention, and how do my first attempts at panning look? From what I’ve already noticed myself, it’s probably easier to capture this when the car is driving in a straight line and at a higher speed than it was during this event. I tried at shutter speed of 1/20, 1/40, and 1/80, shooting in bursts, with the aperture set automatically between f/7.1 and f/20.

Some pictures I got from CTMP. It was my first race event and first time taking photos of one obviously. It was a blast!! Anyways hope yall enjoy my photos :)

Feedback is always welcome 😁

Looking forward to getting my roll of film back from my Kodak Cresta3 and Nikon FE.

Are you familiar with this racing series? It's currently in its eighth round, and I went to cover it.

Photos by me.

It was hot, it was dusty but as always with Goodwood it was absolutely amazing. Some incredible cars on show. Tried some new angles out this year especially after my favourite photo spot was taken away but the monster energy stand. If you have never been to Goodwood Festival Of Speed make sure you go at least one. No one does it quite like Goodwood.

History was made in Argentina’s premier motorsport series, Turismo Carretera, as 23-year-old Otto Fritzler secured Mercedes-Benz’s first-ever victory in the history of the category. Driving the Prestige Auto Racing Mercedes-Benz CLE 53 at the Posadas circuit, Fritzler started from P4 and executed a decisive, high-stakes overtake on the outside line against Nicolás Bonelli’s Ford Mustang following a late-race restart to capture the lead.
With this historic win, Fritzler broke a 15-race winless streak, climbed to second place in the championship standings, and joined an exclusive club of drivers who have won with three different brands in the series. Consequently, Mercedes-Benz officially becomes the eighth manufacturer to win a race in Turismo Carretera, the oldest active racing series in the world.

Hey, everyone! Last weekend I was covering the Road Tourism (the highest category of race car series on the track in Argentina)

(TC) and a mini debate was set up in the paddock that I wanted to share with you.

As you may already know, there are two types of credentials for media: annual and career by career. In this event, only those who had annual passes could enter the track, while the rest of us were restricted. This divided the group quite a bit: some were in favor of the rule for safety issues, while others were totally against it.

Personally, I see both sides. Many times, people who have race-by-race credentials are new to motorsport and, if they do not have the right experience, they can easily end up being a safety risk when trying to cross or work near the track. Perhaps a better solution would be to filter access based on a proven track record of circuit experience, rather than looking only at the type of accreditation.

But beyond the rules, I was left thinking: is it really essential to be glued to the edge of the asphalt to take a great photo?

I feel that the event goes all over the place, not just on the track. If you know how to look, you can capture powerful photos that say a lot from other angles that tell an equally good story. What do they think?

I put together this short video with my weekend coverage.
