[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 9065656, member: 27897"] Not doing as many things for fun as I used to. I dropped motorcycle riding, both street and track, and I've pretty much given up on motorsports photography. Events went into hiatus when lockdown started, then went to competitors only, and have only recently gone back to full spectatorship. By then I'd lost the habit of requesting press passes.
