Kirk's Motorsport Photography Pages

Melbourne is a great place for a motorsport enthusiast.

There are 4 circuits within a 2 hour radius - Sandown, Calder Park, Phillip Island and Winton Raceway.

Melbourne also hosts Formula One, World Super Bikes and the World 500cc Motorcycle Championships.

This site is for me to show off the photographs I have taken at these and other events.
