Hi All
Made the pilgrimage around the M25 to Brands yesterday for the BTRA Truck Superprix. Weather was fine but cold in the shade and the crowds were quite amusing, air horns seemed to be the order of the day. As ever preparation the night before for the day's photographic amusement involved strong lager and red meat. I loaded up the Love Bus with hungover reprobates at 8am and got going. No one suffered too badly on the way there.
With bellies full of sausages, bacon, eggs and beans we were ready for the mission ahead.
The Uber Jonathan Palmer Death Star Massive Fence™ at the top of Druids caused massive frustration in the early morning so I binned it and headed for the inside of Druids, which was lit fairly well and managed to get some good stuff - mostly pans and three quarter shots though, so these may look a bit samey. I have some more from Clearways that I need to get looked at too.
I haven't managed to look through everything yet but here are a few pics of the support races. I'll post some more of the Trucks later on.
EXIF and all that stuff is intact, these have just been resized and had some crap written on them to stop unscrupulous race organisers stealing them and using them in their programmes for free.
20D and Sigma 70-200f2.8 EX DG HSM and 120-300f2.8 EX HSM used.
Couldn't tell you which was which though.

The only Truck shot I've processed ;)

There are plenty more where these came from, I just can't get them done here at work so I'll do them later on when I'm at home.
Criticism as ever will be taken on the chin.
