Rich
-
With pleasure rich....just give me details :signLOL:
-
Top notch togging as usual Rich! :happy2:
Should have come round to mine for a brew chief seeing as you were so close :smiley:
-
I didn't realise you were so close beddie... next time.
The day didnt start so great. We drove 40 mins and then Tom realised the tickets were still at home, so he drove back to get them and back to me (waiting on the A616). Followed by a 'severe twatting' over woodhead. Tom thought my car was like a rocket ship... :signLOL:
More pics to follow, ive got loads :smiley:
-
just come back from 3 day long weekend up there...at Oulton Park for Quali on Saturday (will see what my pics have come out like) and 2 days of golf at Wychwood Park. My god the houses surrounding the course are nice... ~£1m each apparently (luckily i didn't launch any balls at them this time)
Such a shame to hear TOC has jumped ship but as a racer can't blame him if Team Aon have offered him a seat in the more competitive Focus. It's how it is in motorsport. Still good chance for someone else to take the seat in the Golf. Just hope the team continues for the rest of the season.
-
So... being late we managed to catch about 5 laps of the first BTCC race. And then this came around. :signLOL:

Fantastic pics :happy2: I never miss the BTCC at Oulton (except for this year) gutted I couldnt make it.
-
Excellent photos rich. Definately gonna have to come to one of these now!

.
I'm getting tired of telling you how excellent your pics are, Rich!
You simply have it nailed - Capturing the atmosphere and moment which tells the story :notworthy: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
-
Great colours and oh so sharp!! :happy2:
What body and lenses did you use on the day?
Were you on the spectator walkway near Knickerbrook for the Race 2 shots? (if yes, I'd have walked right past you!!)
-
Great pics, What track is nearest to west yorkshire & is there a race there coming up?

Croft circuit in two weeks. :smiley:

Robin... thank you. One day i might make a quid out of it, but for the time being doing it for pleasure is working for me. :smiley:
Pablo, i use a Canon 5D mkII and a 100-400mm lens. Not the fastest camera for motorsports but the resolution is outstanding. Yes i was a Knickerborrk for race 2 and 3. Me and my brother managed to rig up an umbrella to a concrete post so we both had our hands free but could stay dry :signLOL:
Looking at the photos it amazes me how much rear camber the cars seem to use, and how loud yet slow the Audi is. :scared:

Fanatstic pics as always Rich!! :congrats: Only managed to watch the first BTCC race and couple of support races on the telly :sad1:
Was down at AMD today getting some bits and bobs done to my car when i looked out the window and saw this come rolling in :party:

Was chatting to one of the guys there as i way paying the bill and found out about TOC leaving the team for Ford, apparently had too good an offer to refuse. I asked if Shaun was going to race again but i think they are looking at other options.
Unfortunately didn't see the car being unloaded from the trailer but i've been there a few times before when it was being stripped and rebuilt :notworthy:
