European Grasstrack Championship - Swingfield
 

And now for something completely different! I have wanted to watch grasstrack for a while now and when I discovered a track in Kent, it was too good an opportunity to miss.

I had zero clue about the riders or Championship, so I was there purely to watch the races (and take some snaps).

The solo riders were impressive, but the sidecars were (as is usual for sidecars) mental. The 500cc sidecars looked hard work, but the 1000cc sidecars were absolutely weapons.

Very relaxed atmosphere and some very spectacular racing. Definitely an event I'll be trying to get to again next year!

Quality photos :doubleup:

Great pictures, the side car action looks nuts.:-D

Yep, no argument there: especially the passengers!
