CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

Kazuki Nakajima, Toyota Racing As usual during the first day of track action of a FIA World Endurance Championship event we held the pre event press conference with six of the drivers taking part in the 6 hours race.  For here in Japan we chose Kauki Nakajima from Toyota, Andre Lotterer from Audi, Mark Webber from Porsche, Alex Imperatori from Rebellion Racing, Darren Turner from Aston Martin Racing and Andrea Bertolini from SMP Racing. I set up one of the X-T1s on a tripod to video the press conference for streaming on the official FIA WEC website and on social media and used a Nikon ME1 external micrrophone to record the sound. For this press conference I used the XF16-55mm f2.8 lens.  The second X-T1 was fitted with the XF50-140mm f2.8 to take pictures of the drivers so I have a set of still images to accompany the video.

One of the things we try to do at each round of the FIA World Endurance Championship is to speak to as many drivers through the event to get their feedback for the website and social media.  However we usually ask the questions and at the last event at Fuji Speedway in Japan we decided to get the drivers to ask their teammates the questions.  First up were Aston Martin Racing teammates Stefan Mücke and Darren Turner, who have been paired together in every race in the WEC so far and before that in many other forms of sportscar racing, so they know each other very well. The interview was shot on the Fujifilm X-T1, which was fitted with the XF56mm f1.2 lens.

Today was the day we launched the 6 Hours of Silverstone at Kensington Palace in London.  The race on the 18-20 April is the opening round of the FIA WEC and the overall winners will be presented with the Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy. As the FIA Media Delegate for the championship I have spent many hours over the past few months pulling this event together and today was a good day when everything just seemed to go perfectly. Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess Michael of Kent were the guests of honour and the Prince spoke on behalf of the Royal Automobile Club in his capacity as the President of the Club that was given Royal assent by his Great Grandfather King Edward VII.   Here are some shots from today - HRH Prince Michael of Kent Q&A - L/R Johnny Mowlem, Marco Holzer, James Calado, Darren Turner, Tom Kristensen and Radio Le Mans John Hindhaugh Photocall HRH Princess Michael of Kent speaks to Johnny Mowlem and Marco Holze...
