Revolution Motorsports: Demo Day 28th September 2019

A great deal of time had passed since I have last shot anything motor sports related, but here we are again. The guys at Revolution Motorsports had locked down a drift demo day at Pheasant Wood Circuit (previous known as Marulan Driving Training Centre - Marulan for short). The last time a drift day was held here, was in 2015 hosted by Driving Sports. I'm glad to be back to spectate & some-what shoot photos for another one.

The event was scheduled to run from 9:00AM to 4:00PM, a solid 7 hours of drifting, be that nothing was to go wrong. It was an open pit-lane layout, so the drivers were able to jump on & off the track as they pleased, which meant maximum track time if your car were able to handle it.

On the way to the track, I made a quick stop by Maccas for breakfast & was greeted by some of the Cursed Sundays boys.

Arriving just shy of 8:00AM, I made my way to the administration office/cafeteria to sign a media accreditation form.

Rev boys all lined up in the pit area

After having a quick walk around the pits, drivers/media briefing wasn't too long after. Here's a map depicting what the drivers were to look forward to. Later on in the day, a reversal of the map pictured above was driven.

Cars lined up on the track anxiously waiting to shred some tyres.

It had been over a year & a half since I've taken any motor sport photos. I definitely need some practice with panning again, as I'm not 100% happy with the photos I had taken that day.

These drift events usually attract some tastefully modified cars. Some of which may be too stanceypants for others.

At around 3PM, many people had already thrown in the towel & started packing up their belonging, the day was coming to an end. Besides getting sun-burnt, shooting in harsh sunlight & taking horrible photos, awesome day meeting old/new faces otherwise. Big ups to Joey for the passenger rides & the Revo team for again, holding another great drift day. Next stop, Tour de Rev & hopefully I suck less at this panning business.

Until next time.
