    Is this really so much fun?

    My local Garden Society's Annual Show has a "Sport" class in it's Photographic section and as I'm not a keen sport photographer I thought I ought to attempt a few shots. I went to a local Autograss event and apart from getting covered in dust I managed a few interesting shots, one of which is here. But I have to ask, bearing in mind the vehicles have no windshield "Is this really so much fun?"

    It looks like fun to me!

    I have tried several types of (tarmac) circuit racing) over the years and enjoyed it - I even won a corporate hospitality event against about 30 European journalists at Silverstone. But off-road I don't care for that much and was useless at rallying when I tried it!

      Brilliant shot and I bet that is a lot of fun, but I reckon the participants know about it the next day, and yep! I also reckon they get to eat quite a few flies

      I like off roading , as I prefer the sedate pace of clambering over obstacles and through mud, and you get thrown around the cab a fair bit in that activity.

        It has an engine so it must be fun!

        The shot is a great example of autograss

          Well, if it isn't fun to race it sure is fun to photograph! Great action shot.

            With a full-face helmet on, I'll bet that's great fun......

              Brings back many happy memories of mud spattered youth, a wonderful moment captured.
              The picture tells the story, great when you have a bad memory.DW.
