So many British racing drivers will know the feeling. The feeling of Indira Flack bounding over with a smile and a question, or handing them a letter, asking them to be part of her huge photographic\u00a0project.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

To date, Flack has managed to take portraits\u00a0of over 100 British racing drivers for her upcoming exhibition at Silverstone. But these aren\u2019t simply candid shots of stars of British tarmac and gravel, they\u2019re all fully-planned and brilliantly-executed shots from a professional photographer at the top of her game.<\/p>\n

But how did the project begin? Why? And what\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

\u201cI needed a project,\u201d she said, reminiscing about the conception of Great British Racing Drivers (GBRD), \u201chaving been knocked off my bicycle and unable to work, I was battered and bruised, and left to think about what I could do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d previously\u00a0been commissioned by Country Life magazine to shoot a series\u00a0\u2018The\u00a0Great British Hobby\u2019 which I\u2019d loved doing, and felt like I wanted to do something like that myself. My partner\u00a0(Paul)\u00a0pointed out that, as I was going to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in a few months\u2019 time, perhaps I could photograph racing drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was in November 2013, and with the Festival of Speed being a while away, (June 2014) Indira had a chance to plan it out.<\/p>\n

One thing she knew was that she\u2019d be taken more seriously if she was asking racing drivers at the FOS whilst already having a few drivers in the bag \u2013 and so she worked with Paul to set about tracking down some true legends of the sport\u2013 John Surtees CBE and Sir Stirling Moss.\u00a0Paul had managed to get John Surtees\u2019s email address at the Goodwood media day.<\/p>\n

Surtees replied to Flack\u2019s resulting email and was keen to be involved, Moss\u2019s team advised he\u2019d be most likely to respond to a letter, and so a letter was written and, with it, a precedent was set.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth were fantastic,\u201d Flack remembers, \u201cSir Stirling fully embraced the British theme of the project, and wore Union Jack braces. He also sat in a chair he\u2019d asked for as a prize in place of a trophy, as he didn’t want another trophy to polish!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

With these two icons photographed in early 2014, she knew the project was on its way, and scanned the entry list of drivers at the FOS that year, looking at what batch they would be in going up the hill, or if they were due to be in the Moving Motor Show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t too sure who to pick, but I wanted to go prepared and write a letter to hand over to request permission to photograph them. So, I looked out for names of drivers labelled \u2018Champion\u2019 and thought I\u2019d start with those. The thing is, I still didn\u2019t really know who to look out for when I got there so I had printed their headshots too\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

That year\u2019s FOS turned out to be a great event for finding the people on her list. She was still unable to walk too far comfortably so stationed herself in the top paddock where she knew all the drivers would end up and could be approached. Paul had advised her to seek out Bruce Jones whilst there, to point out any drivers who weren\u2019t obvious to Flack, who is happy to admit she was still fairly new to the world of motorsport at that point. One such driver was Dario Franchitti.<\/p>\n

\u201cDario was, and always has been, an absolute delight, but trying to arrange a suitable time to get a photograph done was incredibly tricky. It was very satisfying many years later when I finally took his portrait.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talking about stories behind some of the images revealed a lot about not only Flack\u2019s tenacity, but also her good nature, endearing personality, and also the fantastic support she received from drivers wanting to be involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always say\u00a0\u2018patience pays off\u2019 but Paul says I’m\u00a0persistent,\u201d she says, \u201cat Autosport International in January 2019, we were talking to Andrew Jordan, Ashley Sutton and Colin\u00a0Turkington. I was finally due to photograph Andrew the following Monday – I\u2019d been trying to get a date from him since FOS 2016 and we were joking with him about how long it had taken to organise. I said\u00a0\u2018see patience pays off\u2019 Paul then said to Andrew\u00a0\u2018more like persistence\u2019! Andrew laughed and agreed. Ash laughed too, agreeing, and said my emails had gone into his junk folder to start with until I phoned him to see if he’d seen my email! Colin was already booked in for the end of Jan, so he quickly confirmed that that was ok.\u201d<\/p>\n

It would be too long an article for me to list every one of Flack\u2019s anecdotes, but thankfully there\u2019s set to be a book coming out covering the tales behind the images. Here are a few tales too good not to share now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jonny Herbert\/David Coulthard\/Martin Brundle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis shot was great to set up. I knew they\u2019re always incredibly busy and seldom in the UK, so I had to take a chance at the British GP.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019d managed to get the OK from both Martin and DC but Jonny had never responded to my emails.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at the GP sitting up in the media\u00a0centre having dinner, I spotted him down below. Abandoning my food, I ran down and he laughed saying \u2018oh yes sorry, yes got your emails and then ignored you\u2019 but\u00a0immediately\u00a0assured me he fully intended to do the shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartin had organised the\u00a0mics for him and Johnny, but David wasn\u2019t sure – because at that point Sky and Channel 4 knew nothing about it!\u00a0Luckily I just so happened to get a lift in the Channel 4 minibus, mistaking them for a Silverstone media\u00a0courtesy bus,\u00a0and got David\u2019s\u00a0microphone arranged with them!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lando Norris\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis shot was of Lando at the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award ceremony in 2016. It\u2019s been great to photograph up-and-coming talent over the years when they look so good in their tuxedos – I told them to channel their inner Bond! Lando was fantastic, choosing to pose on the bannister and with a huge grin. It’s brilliant to see him now driving for McLaren in Formula 1.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gordon Shedden\/Matt Neal, Jason Plato <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cThe BTCC drivers are always incredible. The shot of the two Honda teammates and friends \u2013 both triple BTCC champions \u2013 was shot in Honda\u2019s hospitality tent. I wanted both drivers together in the shot due to their friendship, rivalry and matching success.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cJason Plato was great too \u2013\u00a0He’d tweeted that his favourite meal is\u00a0pizza and a\u00a0pint of\u00a0Lambrusco\u00a0ros\u00e9, so I wanted him eating pizza. I\u2019d originally gone to his home to take the shots but it didn\u2019t really work as I\u2019d envisaged it (I always felt there could be more). So I set up this shot behind the scenes at the Goodwood Revival without him knowing! The team at Sub-Zero allowed me to use their car transporter as the location and assured me they\u2019d get Jason to come along. He did, and it\u2019s now one of my favourite shots. Jason agrees it\u2019s much better than the original too.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flick Haigh\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cFlick was great. We managed to combine her three favourite things when I visited her \u2013 horses, dogs and of course motor racing. This shows just how flexible the drivers have been and shows what a great result we can get when we think beyond simple headshots.\u201c<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monger, Hamilton, McGloin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cThese are some of my more famous sitters \u2013 the F1 drivers I\u2019ve photographed are huge stars, but Billy Monger is arguably the most talked-about driver that I\u2019ve photographed so far.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

“Although Billy\u2019s not a champion, he is, like Nicolas Hamilton, Natalie McGloin and so many others, a true inspiration with a can-do, anything is possible attitude, and so I was keen to get them all involved in the project. I didn\u2019t want this project to solely focus on championship-winners \u2013 it’s also about inspiration, talent and hard work which makes all of my subjects must-haves for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cLewis Hamilton is the most famous driver on my list, but I\u2019ve not managed to arrange a photograph with him yet, but he would be a very significant addition to a list of Great British Racing Drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Button, Hill, Mansell<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

These are all super-talented F1 World champions crowned more recently than the likes of Surtees and Stewart, and so are all still in huge demand, but were still keen to be part of Flack’s project.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

Flack managed to capture Damon Hill driving his father\u2019s 1967 GP winning Lotus Cosworth 49, which certainly adds a great amount of resonance to the image.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

“Nigel Mansell\u2019s portrait remains the only photograph I\u2019ve taken which involved a flight \u2013 albeit only as far as the Channel Islands!” recalls Flack, “If I\u2019d have had a sponsor for the project \u2013 and I still aim to secure one \u2013 then I may have been able to travel further for the drivers\u2019 convenience.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Karters and the unknown boy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis is a true highlight of the project. The grid kids for the British GP were a mix of ten competitive karters and ten Silverstone fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had pre-arranged with Silverstone and the MSA to do the picture for my project. On the day,\u00a0I met up with the kids and parents before they met the drivers and went on to the grid. A lovely lady called Debbie was really helpful in rounding up children and parents alike – we definitely bonded that day. Her son Archie Clark turned out to be grandson of legendary rally driver Roger Clark. I photographed Archie with his Grandfather\u2019s\u00a0state at Mallory Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the kids came off the grid we had very little time\u00a0before the start of the race to get the picture done, especially as everyone was desperate to see the start of the F1 race, including me. I said to the whole group\u00a0\u2018everyone who isn\u2019t a karter can go and find their seats,\u00a0everyone else come with me.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI should have ended up with eleven kids\u00a0(one of the ten \u2018fans\u2019 was also a karter)\u2026\u00a0 but there were twelve. As we all ran down the paddock, I repeated that anyone who wasn\u2019t a karter could go and find their seat, but I still had twelve kids when we arrived at the location!<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pretty sure the extra kid wasn\u2019t a karter, but once at the location I wasn\u2019t going to ask him to leave in front of everyone and – who knows – he may actually be a\u00a0karter, although nobody seems to recognise him and I haven\u2019t been able to find out his name yet!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next steps\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I asked what the next steps were for the project, knowing that Flack had been to see her printers that very day.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor now, I\u2019m not looking to take many more photographs, I have two more to do and one possible – the W-Series girls. I will have between 113 and 116 drivers and about 83 images in total and I need to call it a day at some point!<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next thing is to design the exhibition and continue trying to finance it, so I\u2019m still spending a lot of my time trying to find a sponsor. It would be a real shame to be unable to do this exhibition justice because of money \u2013 but I\u2019ve not secured a sponsor as yet despite a lot of hard work in that area.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond that, it\u2019ll be a book, with all the images and little bits of information about the drivers and the stories behind the images.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I manage to make a profit from the sales of a book I\u2019d love to somehow use that to help support marshals because, regardless of the category of racing the driver competes in, there have to be marshals.<\/p>\n

\u201dBut, more than that, I hope this project becomes the start of an archive, and lives on with more and more greatly talented and inspirational drivers added.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
