From all of us at Cannonball Garage, THANK YOU for making McLaren Meet 2025 such a success.
At McLaren Meet 2025, we had the privilege of working with the incredibly talented photographers JR Photon, who captured the energy, passion, and stunning details of the event through their lens. From the sweeping rows of McLarens to the candid moments shared between friends, JR’s photography brought the day to life in a way that words alone never could. Their ability to highlight not only the cars but also the community around them made their work an essential part of telling the story of this year’s meet. Thanks to JR, we’ll be able to relive these moments for years to come…
We were also fortunate to have Shophotography on site at McLaren Meet 2025, capturing a fresh perspective of the day. Their eye for detail and creative angles showcased the McLarens in a dynamic way, whether it was the sharp lines of the cars, the excitement of the rally, or the little behind-the-scenes moments that made the event special. Shophotography’s work perfectly complemented the energy of the meet and gave us another layer of memories to look back on and share with our community. They also captured the URR rally for us in stunning photos and videos!
