There are some more In my Gallery (http://gallery.ukmotorsportpics.com/c722166.html) and there are some more which I haven't published. I don't have the space to publish all the pictures from each event.

I can safely say that these images really convey a sense of 'racing' - perhaps more than any other motorsport pics I have seen here. Absolutely superb work Glenn. If I ever do get to shoot some motorsport (other than speedway ;) ) these are the kind of shots I'd aspire to.

Top banana.

More great work Glenn. Looks like the weather was much kinder to you at Silverstone! I can't pick a favourite as they're all superb, but No. 3 and No. 5 stand out at me.

Cheers,
Steve

Hey it's interesting to see our beloved monaro so far away from home and kitted up in such a different way. How does it do in competition over there? Are they well recieved?

Nice photo's btw!

They’ve had real reliability problems with the Monaro this year. The guy who designed the livery for it asked me to get some pictures at an early round of the championship (Thruxton). He warned me beforehand that “It won’t last long”. It managed 1 lap of qualifying and 2 laps of the race – needless to say I didn’t have a large number of shots to show him and I had to “cheat” and include some green flag lap shots.

Things have improved a bit and it finished 17th in the first race this weekend but failed to finish in the second. Hopefully they will persevere and it will do better next season.

Very nice indeed.

For some reason I have a mental picture of Glenn not being able to leave the room he is in because of excessive head swellage. ;)

I'll have a look at the gallery in a bit.

I remember seeing the Holden @ Silverstone last year, it blew up after 2 laps of qualifying as well!

Doh! Could be that they aren't used to having ro race in such a cold climate :P perhaps a litle depressed by all that rain :D

You'll no doubt be relieved to know that with the aid of some cold compresses I managed to get my swollen head out of the office, into the car and home :p ;)

Great shots Glenn, glad the swellings gone down ;) Must say I really like the Monaro shot, excellent.
