Putting on the Gloves

            File: 2023005-0095

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

This is Paul Crute from Saltash, Cornwall, in the 3000cc OMS 28 open wheeled single seater formula car, putting on his gloves and getting ready for his turn.

Hence, I give this the title of “Putting on the Gloves”

Note the tyre warmers, a form of electric blanket to help keep the tyres at optimal temperature, on the wheels. They would be taken off when he is ready to roll to the starting line. 
 
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.
