It takes a team to make what we do a success, and we have a great media team with the National Drivers Championship and we can't thank them enough. Pureart Creative Images Russell Puckeridge has been an integral part of 321Ignitionmedia for a lot of years, and as much as he hates photos, needs to be recognised for what he contributes. Matthäus Stanisch came to us as a true greenhorn a couple of years back, full of enthusiasm (and feedback), but he's emerged in the last 12-months into a very skilled camera operator and rarely misses that all important action that goes on behind the scenes, he's also stepped up when things inevitably go sideways. Few people are aware that the television arrangement that ultimately kicked off the NDC actually started with a random chat with Rolf whilst wrapping up an event nearly two years ago. That led to Dave Clark taking the step of introducing TV at Adelaide, and from there it took off with the support of Rob Psaila and Craig Stauner, but we'll never forget it started with Rolf. He also takes a pretty reasonable photo..! And what boat racing event in Australia would be complete without Scott Lambert and the Gphydro Livestreaming team, Scotty has been more than welcoming since the project began and with Neil and Paul on cameras, have been a vital part of what we do.

My old mate and sparring partner Dave Bishop.. the voice of boat racing in Australia, a great source of information and an all-round great bloke, no project like this would be complete without Bisho Media - 2024 is only the tip of the iceberg on this front. We also need to thank Vaughn Brewer for stepping into Bisho's big boots for Yarrawonga, it was a tough gig coming in green from the West, but we converted another disciple to the Church of Circuit Boats and are sure to see more of him too in future.

We also need to acknowledge the help we've had from Tate Williamson who sadly lost his Dad mid-season, Glenn was always close by to keep us up to date with what was happening in the pits and he will be sorely missed. Thanks too, to Joh Paynter who has been a wealth of knowledge and a great addition on drone across the season.

As for Ella Niddrie and Claudia Camilleri, thank you both for adding to the project through the year, a little more resource from our side and we hope to make you both more permanent additions in 2025!

To have a chance to publicly thank these fantastic people at Windsor on Saturday was a moment we're grateful for, and we all look forward to carrying this great momentum on into 2025 👊🙏🏁

2024 has been an outstanding season for the debut of the National Drivers Championship, but 2025 is set to be much, much bigger. There's so much going on behind closed doors, with more announcements soon, but to add a fifth round for next season shows just how popular the NDC has become 👊🇦🇺🏁

I've been involved with this sport for the best part of 16 years, and in that time have met some of the best human beings on the planet - so I've been thinking on this for a while. With the way the world is right now, I think we could do with some more 'BEST' and 'FAIR' let's see what happens, but guaranteed in this group of characters, there will be plenty of contenders! 👊👍🏁

The 2022 🇦🇺 V8 Superboats Championship will see a new award presented at season's end, 321Ignitionmedia offering an incentive to become the inaugural winner of the sport's own 'Best & Fairest'. Read more 👉 https://bit.ly/3IPH6XF 🏁🏆

Was tasked with photographing the new-look Holden Racing Team VS Commodore for Motorsport News ahead of the start of the 1998 season where Mark Skaife would make the move across from Gibson Motorsport which would merge into the Wynn's team for the new season. The car was immaculate, and whilst the VT came online in '98, I can't recall if this was an all-new car (they ran three cars in '98 at various times), or an update that was done in typically sharp fashion - the '97 CAMS badge on the dash might be a giveaway, but it was otherwise immaculate 📷🇦🇺🏁
