The CALM All Porsche Trophy at Donington National, 10th of April 2023

Colin Tester #91, Boxster S, Calm All Porsche Trophy, Donington National 10th of April 2023

My first motorsport event of the season was at Donington for the Calm All Porsche Trophy on the National circuit which uses the chicane at the end of Starkey’s straight and omiting the Melbourne loop hairpin

The day was mixed weather wise, with very heavy downpours in the morning, and very windy in the afternoon, which helped dry the track

Qualifying was in the morning, with the race mid-afternoon

The race ran without incident, impresive as around half the field were new to the CALM series

The overall winner was #68 Steve Hewson in his beautifully presented Cayman

Next round for the CALM All Porsche Trophy will be at Trac Môn, Anglesey on the weekend of May the 13th & 14th

Sadly I wont be able to make that round

CALM All Porsche Trophy, Donington GP, Monday April the 18th, 2022

So after the winter break, it was back to motorsport photography for me, this time it was the GP circuit at Donington Park in Leicestershire

After a few minutes, it all came back, my last race was the Birkett Relay back in October 2021, so i took some time to go through my gear and did all my presets the night before

At this event last year, it was snowing at 9am, and I got sunburnt by luchtime! luckily this year, it was fair and dry

It was an early race, all finished by 4pm, ready for the 200 mile drive South, future planners really need to think about moving race circuits nearer to Whitstable
