(NEW) Mechanics at Work (1/2)

            File: 2023005-0023

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

This is one of the mechanics, or possibly one of the drivers who doubles as a mechanic, doing some preparation work on the car at the paddock.

Here, he is seen pouring water from a jerry can into a jar. It could be just water, or it could be coolant, for the car’s engine.

He was working on the car seen in the photo. The car is Empire EVO 3, driven by Steve Morgan, as according to the programme guide, I have with me.

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

I shot the event in colour, but decided to convert the photo into black and white, plus cropping, and hope for a dramatic story-telling feel to the photo.
 
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.
