Starter Pack (2/2) – Shelsley Walsh 2023

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

This is one of the mechanics using a portable battery pack, I assume to start the car which may have stalled the engine. Being not a car enthusiast, I’m guessing that is the purpose. The car he is working on is a DJ Firestorm with 2650cc engine, driven by Alex Summers.

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.
  
About Shelsley Walsh.

Shelsley Walsh is a motorsports speed hill climb track in Worcestershire, and organised by the Midland Automobile Club (MAC).

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.
