Great pics T_O_M. Any more of the "Lnowdes" car please?

[Nidz]

Top shots.. Will you be going down on Sunday? I'll be there and I wouldn't mind meeting up with some other people. I'm quite amatuer compared to the shots you take..

[PeteDyer]

excellant shots, love number 2

[Crappy Snapper]

Very good although the first shot is not as clear as the rest. First impressions and everything. I really like the fourth. Enjoy the weekend if you are going and post a few more.

the Lnowdes seems to have a hole in the window

It's just an air duct, the other cars have it on the driver window.
Great photos!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

Nidz not going Sunday decided to go Friday to get some pics, less people and the weather was going to be cooler.

Your right, Friday was the best day to shoot, but I paid for it today with some bad sunburn :-(

[Nidz]

Damn.. I pulled out of going due to how hot it was.. man quite steamy..

[agosling]

Nidz, you silly boy, I drove 1200K's, spent a bomb, now have some fairly serious sunburn, but I had a great weekend and have got 4000 images to work my way through, the only downer for me is that I have to wait until March for the Superbikes so I can do it all again.

Good solid stuff here Tom. :)

We should all catch up next year - there are so many members here! :D

[Nikolas]

Why was Lowndes car mis spelt?

[clubbyr8]

Something to do with Vodafone sponsorship and the "now" campaign.

[T_O_M]

Thanks, We should all catch up, Who is going to the F1 Grand Prinx in March.

Maybe, but without credentials it's a nightmare of a track photographically speaking.

Maybe, but without credentials it's a nightmare of a track photographically speaking.

Yeah I know it's a nithmare to shoot beacause of the high fences, distance from track etc and you are forced to shoot wide open to elimanate the mesh in fences but you can get some good pics.

From this year.

Good example Tom. 300mm limit too. :(

[T_O_M]

At least the limit was increased to 300mm this year from 200mm the previous years.

And no-one needs to know about the TC. ;)
