BRX V BTCC battle of the champions.
BRX V BTCC the head to head. Here is how it started for me. The phone rings one Friday evening in November 2017. I answer it and the conversation goes something like this:
“Do you want to come to Lydden and shoot a feature for us? Its on a head to head of the British Rallycross Champion against the British Touring Car Champion” There was more of a conversation, but I was already sold! This isn’t really about what happened, rather a few of my personal favorite frames.

So off to a rainy and grey Lydden Hill I went. The brief itself was fairly straight forward. A few in car frames, some ‘action’ ones, tracking shots and a setup promo type shot. Nathan I already knew from rallycross. Ash was just as laid back!
The tracking shots were great and by and large both drivers followed my direction as I hung out the back of the lead car.

However, racing drivers always want to race.
Take it easy round the hairpin guys, erm yeah right!
There is a really nice article that Hal Ridge wrote that was published in the MSA magazines winter 2017 edition. It starts on page 46.
