    Baku is the first and only F1 race I have been to, it was an unforgettable experience, loved every moment of it. While we had seats at the start finish line, I arranged to watch the practice sessions from a balcony in the old town. The sound of the engines bouncing off the building walls was absolutely thrilling. As a professional photographer myself, it was the first time I photographed sportscars, and I loved it. I want to do exactly what you do Kym! I hope to get the chance one day!

    • @KymIllman
