Sign Language of Drag Racing

As it happens, once you get baptised by nitro, you want to come back again and again. While feeling nostalgic I’ve made this small project during the events I shot at Hockenheim, because I was fascinated how every team was “signaling” to their driver. You can really feel the difference in relationship that driver has with crew members: some are family, others keep a more professional approach; few may be nervous, others too eager to win. I came up with a name for the techniques as well :D
