992 Cup at Spa 2025
The 992 Cup at Spa was an exercise in looking beyond outright speed. The circuit supplied the noise and movement, while the paddock offered the details, repetition and short pauses that work especially well on 35mm film.
From the grandstands the cars compress into colour and sound. In the paddock they become physical again: marked tyres, open doors, warm brakes and mechanics moving around familiar shapes with practiced precision.
I spent as much time watching those preparations as the racing itself. The repeated lines of the 992, interrupted by different liveries and small signs of use, gave the photographs a consistent visual thread.
Spa always feels larger than a single race. The weather, elevation and distance between corners create a full day of walking and waiting, with each exposed frame becoming a small record of where the circuit led next.
