No need for that at all. He was actually making a very fair point, with english not being his first language.
The point stands, that the pics are competent, but of a similar nature. No real variation from single car shot from same viewpoint. This is not a criticism. People do like to see "their" car in action for sure. Photography is a craft that is learned, next time the photograher should try new shots. That's positive feedback.
I'd refer to the sort of photo reporting that Neobuggy presents, or indeed redrc.net. Their big event coverage always features "under the hood" type shots. We racers do like to see these as they are useful along with setup sheets to see what to tuning tips might be helping.
Now sure some top racers may want to keep it a secret, thats fair and should be respected if something is in development or testing, or they are running off brand parts, but many top racers i have spoken to are happy to show off their car.
Photo features on cars and drivers are good for sponsors, driver profile and the cars do carry those sponsor stickers for a reason. As long as an event photorapher is clear about what will be done with the shots, creativity should be welcomed in our event photography, whoever is doing it.
