Starter Pack (1/2) – Shelsley Walsh 2023
File: 2023005-0110
Shelsley Walsh, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, Saturday 3rd June 2023.
About the photograph.
Those two mechanics were pushing the Gould GR55, a single seater, open wheeled, race car with 2500cc engine, to the pre-start line. They stopped to wait for their turn to move forward, while other cars moved ahead as it is their turns. Notice the left mechanic’s feet in a relaxed position.
The right mechanic is seen bringing along a portable battery pack, and I am not a car enthusiast, I only know just basics, so I’m guessing the purpose of this battery pack is to start the car in case it stalled at the starting line.
The car is driven by Edmund Burgess.
The event they are attending is called the Best of British event during the weekend, at the Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb track.
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.
