Three Sisters Race Circuit was originally a karting only circuit, but has recently been upgraded to host car and bike track days. The circuit has various track configurations ranging from 700 metres to 1500 metres. The outer circuit is the fastest and easiest layout and is used mostly for car track days. The inner circuit configurations make up the long and full circuit and are the most technical. You may find that on some events, a combination of layouts is used, where one configuration is run in the morning and a different one is used in the afternoon. As well as own car and bike track days, an incredible range of driving experience packages are available to book at this venue too, including Movie Cars, Racing Cars and Supercars, which we have on offer for both Adult and Junior drivers.

Aintree Circuit was constructed in just 4 months in 1954 as the UK’s first (and only) purpose built 3 mile Grand Prix motor racing circuit. It was intended to be run anti-clockwise, just like the Grand National horse races, but only the first event was actually run that way. Experience showed that the circuit would be safer run conventionally, so it has been run clockwise ever since. Aintree hosted five world championship Grand Prix races, 1955, 1957, 1959, 1961 & 1962 as well as several non-world championship Formula One races. Back in the 50’s the top drivers of the day competed in several different types of car racing as well as the World Championship races and could even be seen racing in saloon or sports cars as well as in the main event. The full 3 mile Grand Prix circuit was last used in 1964 but car racing continued on the 1.5 mile Club Circuit right through until 1982. Today, the circuit still hosts motorcycle races but regrettably, car racing has been consigned to history. However, the Club Circuit is still used for the car sprints and track days run by Liverpool Motor Club whose members are determined to keep the venue alive for motorsport.

Kitesurfing, also known as kiteboarding, is an adventure watersport that consists of using a large steerable kite to pull yourself around on a board on top of the water. People enjoy the versatility of the different discipline, some enjoy riding the waves, while others prefer propelling themselves into the air as high as 29m. Kitesurfers go out in winds ranging between 10kts and 45kts and have different kites to match the wind speed. Kitesurfing offers you the opportunity to be free using the power of the wind to propel yourself around on top of the water or into the air. There is no feeling like been in the air 10+ meters only using the power of the wind. Others even take off their board at this high to put in a fancy trick.

As well as Sporting Events I also photograph Award Presentation Events too.

"Sports photography refers to the genre of photography that covers all types of sports. In the majority of cases, professional sports photography is a branch of photojournalism, while amateur sports photography, such as photos of children playing association football, is a branch of vernacular photography. The main application of professional sports photography is for editorial purposes; dedicated sports photographers usually work for newspapers, major wire agencies or dedicated sports magazines. However, sports photography is also used for advertising purposes both to build a brand and as well as to promote a sport in a way that cannot be accomplished by editorial means." Wikipedia.
