Green Flag Is Just About To Drop On The 2015 Motorsport Season.

Ferrari, F1, AGP. (C)

    Already it seems like an eternity since V8 Supercars thundered around the Sydney Olympic Park Street Circuit for the Sydney 500. Thank goodness the Australian motorsport off-season is relatively short. We are exhibiting symptoms of motorsport withdrawal as the shutter release trigger finger is getting itchy, and the Nikons must be feeling a little rejected as they too have not shot any motorsport for a spell.
    Patience is a virtue, or so the saying goes, and 2015 is going to be mega. As we approach our 3rd birthday, the excitement towards the impending season is rapidly building. Traditionally at this time of year, we like to inform you of the events we are planning on attending. So here goes.... 
    > February 7-8: Bathurst 12-Hour at Mt Panorama featuring GT and supported by Radical Australia Cup and Formula Ford.
> April 3-5: Bathurst Motor Festival at Mt Panorama featuring Heritage Touring Cars (Groups A + C), Group N and Production Sports Cars.
> April 12: MX Nationals at Appin.
> May 2-3: X Champs at Sydney Dragway featuring all ANDRA classes including Top Fuel, Top Bike, Top Doorslammers and Top Alcohol.
> June 6-7: Sydney Retro Speedfest at Sydney Motorsport Park featuring Historic F1.
> June 21: East Coast MX Series at Wollongong MCC.
> July 4-5: Shannons Nationals at Sydney Motorsport Park featuring Formula 3 and Formula Ford.
> August 2: MX Nationals at Nowra MCC.
> August 22-23: V8 Supercars at Sydney Motorsport Park supported by Australian GT.
> September 6: Australian Kart Championship at Newcastle Kart Club featuring the international CIK classes including KZ2 Pro Gearbox.
> October 18: North Shore Kart Club at Eastern Creek International Karting Raceway.
> November 7-8: Australian Nationals at Sydney Dragway featuring all ANDRA classes.
> November 14-15: Shannons Nationals at Sydney Motorsport Park featuring Radical Australia Cup, Australian Sports Racer Series and the Australian Manufacturers 4-Hour.
> December 5-6: Sydney 500 at Sydney Olympic Park Street Circuit featuring V8 Supercars.
    So there you go. Everything from Moto X to open wheelers to historic muscle cars to karting to production cars to drag racing to exotic marques. If you can't attend an event, we hope you enjoy our images. 
    Anyone notice one glaringly obvious omission? March 12-15 sees us trundling down to Melbourne's picturesque Albert Park precinct for an event we affectionately call The Big One. That's right, the Australian Formula One Grand Prix. Will anyone topple Mercedes? We're unashamedly biased and we certainly hope Aussie Daniel Ricciardo will in his Red Bull.
    After a short break, we'll be back with plenty of images from Mt Panorama of the Bathurst 12-Hour. Thanks for your support and we'll catch you at the track throughout 2015....
