Faces...

Don't forget the people.

It's men and women who race cars and bikes; they are the ones who give the machine heart and speed. Anything else is simply design and manufacture, no matter how fine.

Luciano Bacheta (GBR), FIA Formula 2 Championship 2012. The points leader
signing autographs at Brands Hatch, Kent, on Sunday 15th July. He seemed a
little awkward, looking around him as though he was uncomfortable to
be there.  And he is only 22, after all. I wasn't in his face here, either, when he
made eye contact - it was worth standing 15 feet away waiting for gaps in the crowd
surrounding the drivers just for the defocussed background.
