Over the Fence – April 2012

Here we go then, the first few shots for the 2012 version of our Over the Fence fan photo competition. Two regular contributors Johan Hendrickx and Marc Mas showed their true colours by braving the rain and cold at Lydden to bag a few great shots from the Monster Energy International Rallycross Festival. Both got Tanner Foust’s flight through the chicane in timed practice, but from very different angles. Last year’s winner, Steve White, is back in the competition again and has sent a handful of pics from the British championship event at Lydden in March – when the sun was out! We also have Dutch championship shots from Johan Hendrickx and a pic of Roman Castoral on one of those wet days at Lydden from our youngest ever contributor, six-year-old George Terry. Teenage snapper Joseph Wright has submitted a batch of 20 shots covering the British and European events at Lydden, as well as early season testing in the snow! Not to be outdone, Joseph’s father, Vic, has also sent a set of pics from early season British events.

Why not send us some of your pictures? The instructions etc. are underneath the slideshow below.

Here is your chance to show your own pictures on RallycrossWorld.com. Our ‘Over the fence’ feature will run within the ‘Photo stars’ section, but is not open to anyone who is accredited or signed-on to work trackside – we want to see the best of the pictures taken from the spectator areas and your view of what goes on in the paddock and areas around the track. You can send pictures from any Rallycross event run in 2012 and may submit a maximum of twelve photos from each event you attend, although we may publish fewer. Please send your pics as JPG files, not smaller than 800 x 550 pix @ 72dpi and without any watermarks or copyright credits on the image. And currently no vertical format pics please! Each published picture will be credited in usual style [© yourname/RallycrossWorld.com] so make sure you tell us your real name! For the caption we need the name of the leading driver shown, make and model of the car as well as the date and venue of the event. At the end of the year we will assemble a judging panel to select the best pictures of 2012 and come up with suitable prizes. Please note: If the pictures received do not follow the above mentioned requirements they cannot be published. By sending your pictures you fully agree that RallycrossWorld.com can use the image without limit on our website as well as for the Rallycross World magazine, without payment of any fees and that you will, if requested, supply higher resolution copies if we want to feature selected pictures in our magazine. By submitting or having images published, you may not claim to be a contributor to RallycrossWorld.com or Rallycross World magazine. Click here to send your pics: Over the fence
