Brands Hatch Historic Masters - Time for a hosepipe ban!!

[GSH]

Ahh, early summer in Kent aka The Garden of England. Birds sing in the trees, rabbits play happily in the fields, or at least they would if the poor buggers hadn't been drowned by a downpour that lasted pretty much all day...harrumph !

#1. Group C, the sports prototypes designed for the Le Mans 24 Hours etc. This one's an Intrepid. Did i say how wet it was ?

Thanks for looking.

Was it raining Geoff? The JPS and the Jags leading the pack are the pick of the bunch for me.


Cheers
Ian

Just a light shower Ian...

Nice Geoff, also love the Group C pack shot. Glad I'm not the only one who thought it sounded a bit dodgy.

[Joffan]

That looks worse than yesterday!

Nice series indeed Geoff. Good work.

Great stuff Geoff. All that rain, but I bet it was still better than Croft last weekend. :D

[Simon Harrison]

These are all absolutely spot on Geoff. The first 5 in particular are right on the money. I'll have to pick 3 favourites and go with #3, #4 and #5. Great stuff.

Cheers,

Simon.

Think i'll print that out & frame it, thanks Simon ;)

3 is through Doc Palmer's infamous fence at Druids. 4 is also through a fence which has a very nice (large) TV camera flap in it. 5 is fortunately a nice clear view :)

Love the Alfa's. I can't get over how small the old F1 cars are. It always amazes me when I see them at the Road America vintage races.

[RadAL]

very nice stuff. *applause*

[petrolhead]

I would agree, no3 is perfect, well done Geoff

[Echo63]

#2 and 3 would be my favorites, they all look good though
love the size of the rear tyres on the old F1 cars

[Paul C-J]

good stuff , the conditions were abserloutely rubbish!!!

i decided not to go after looking out the window

[nevets2001uk]

All good but I really like No. 3 and 4.

Cheers,
Steve

Really great stuff, I actually ended up loving the subjects and not concentrating on the excellent photography. Gotta love the shot of the Alfa's though...
