British Superbikes at Donington Park
Hi Folks,
I was at Donington Park this weekend for the British Superbikes. Fyi, there was one point between no 6 Kiyonari and no 36 Lavilla at the start of the meeting.
Lavilla won both races and celebrated in style:
Leon Haslam outbraked Kiyonari at the Melbourne Loop:
Kieran Clarke went bodysurfing:
Dean Thomas has an extreme cornering style:
Lavilla leads Kiyonari in race one:
Leon haslam:
Shay.

Awesome!
Now if I could only get over that far, I'd feel I was getting my money's
worth from the tires

Hate to be redundant, but those last 3 shots going into the turn are great.
What lens and how far away were you from the corner?

I had a great time at the races, I was there for Saturday and Sunday. I had far too much to drink on Saturday night in Redgate bar, not a good idea the next day with noisy smelly motorbikes all around me
I saw John Mc on Sunday, he is riding for ten kate.

These were taken at the Melbourne Loop, a relatively slow 180 bend. The riders really lay the bike on the side going around it. I really pushed the contrast and saturation to try and bring out the colours of the leathers and helmets.
Steve, I was using a 20d and a 400 5.6L at the melbourne loop,
This is Ben Wilson nearly scraping the fairing :uhoh

Leon Camier is the championship leader and had a problem with his bike early on in the race. You can see the steam on the screen of the bike, the bike was overheating for the race. He rode a superb race and finished in the points to maintain his lead in the championship.
The spanish riders had a good day. Pere Riba won the supersports race with an immaculate riding display in the wet.

What a wonderful series. I've never been to a superbike race, but it looks like a lot of fun. I can now appreciate the difficulty of getting these shots. Do you prefocus on a particular spot on the track and wait for the action to come to it or do you focus and shoot? Just wondering.
Thanks for sharing some wonderful action shots,
Chris
A picture is but words to the eyes.

I'm glad you enjoyed the series. I am far from an expert but this is what I did. I had a good view of the bikes as they came down the hill before they peeled into the loop. I was able to start tracking them and let off a burst of two or three frames as they were at maximum lean.
I hope this helps,
Shay
I can't get that far over on a dry track let alone a wet track! Good photos!
