Default Prescott Hillclimb French Day 2009

Hi guys, these are a few shots I took at the Prescott Hillclimb Grounds on the outskirts of Cheltenham in the UK. This was a day specifically run for vehicles of french origin, such as Renault and Citroen etc. The Prescott Course is actually owned by Bugatti, hence the Bugatti picture.

I have tried to capture the first two while still keeping a sense of movement and speed. This can be quite difficult as i'm not using a DSLR, I am using a Fujifilm S9500 which isn't the quickest for focusing and metering. Any tips would be appreciated!!

The first two are of what was Ayrton Senna's Car. This is a 1.5ltr turbo producing nearly 1000bhp and really does go like **it off a shovel.

The third is a Renault Alpine and the last is an old bugatti showing it still has what it takes!

Hope you like these

Thumbs up

I like what you have done with the buggatti, the sepia tone certainly suits the car time frame. What was the blue car?

Hi Heathcliffe54 thanks for your reply.

The blue car is a Renault Alpine A110. I just like the shape especially considering they were first built in the 1960's.
