TOP 20 PHOTOGRAPHS: 2018 Gumtree World Rallycross of South Africa - BUILD UP.

The 2018 Gumtree World Rallycross of South Africa has come and gone, but the memories will last forever, and so will photographs taken at the event. 

Over the course of the World RX weekend, I captured an incredible 5215 photographs on a little Nikon D3100 (body) with two lenses - 18-55mm and 55-200mm.

Capturing 5215 photographs makes it an incredible challenge when choosing a selection of TOP 50 or 100 shots. So, over the course of the next few days, I will compile the TOP 20 photographs over the three day event. From Build-up to the Chequered Flag.. I hope that you will enjoy these galleries!
