Today I went to a top secret test track for a shoot with work, it was very exciting. The shoot itself wasn’t particularly secret, in fact the whole thing was captured nicely on video. The place we were at is used by carmakers and manufacturers of various wheeled machines to test them before letting them loose on public roads.

It’s all very sensible, these things need to be checked out before they’re made available to the public. The funny thing about the place is the great emphasis they place on security – stickers on your phone cameras and the like – because said carmakers are very keen for people not to see their new cars being tested in a state of unreadiness.

I’d love to tell you about all the fun things I saw, but I can’t. Not because of the rules, but just because I don’t know anything about anything. Who can tell what a car is once they put a bit of black and white camouflage round the exterior? It’s ingenious really.
