We will also have the opportunity to shot ‘behind the scenes’ in the pits as the crews get the bikes ready for racing. At our pre-race briefing we will be covering all aspects of camera setup including the focusing modes needed for the day.

We will also have a selection of camera bodies and lenses available for you to borrow on the day, please e-mail us at [email protected] if you have any specific requirements and we will try our best to arrange that. Please note we need at least 2 weeks’ notice for any requests.
We will be shooting the action at the brand new Oxford Moto Parc circuit, just off the A34 a few minutes south of Oxford. There will be catering vans selling hot food and drinks or you can bring a packed lunch.
