organization doesn`t like changing pilots every year.
You have to convince them showing previous experience on filming missions and it's a main point to build up a team with the camera man and general media people.
we had to change one crew since they were not satisficed with the job being done .... looking for stonning images and close ups takes sometimes a very demanding piloting near ground, high speed, rapid accelerations-decelerations trying to keep up with the vehicules on the race ... hot, high, long hours, dust, ..... Lots of fun but hard job me thinks ...
