Shelsley Walsh, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, Saturday 3rd June 2023.
 
About the photograph.

This is one of the officials whose duty is mainly to test the cars’ emission levels, and also to check the cars, then make records of their findings, before the cars head over to the starting line, for the speed hill climb.

I shot in colour, but it was a very strong sunny day, and I mistakenly had my white balance set wrong, however I used Adobe Lightroom to convert it into black and white, and then use Adobe Photoshop to crop the shots, for a story-telling feel to the photos.

This official is talking to the driver Martin Bashford in his Caterham Academy car, the programme guide does not specificity state which Caterham model this is. The guide only stated that the engine size to be 1600cc.

The event they are attending is called the Best of British event during the weekend, at the Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb track.

It is one of the oldest motorsports event, having started in 1905, and held events every year, except for the two World Wars.

It is also a notably steep course by today’s hill climb standards, rising 328ft / 100m over its 1000 yards / 914 metres length.

The track and course do not belong to MAC, it is leased from the local landowner. The original lease ran for 99 years, and in 2005, a new lease was signed for the next 99 years.
