Evening all,

Following a sunny trip to Lydden on the Saturday it was time to head to Brands on a windy and rainy Sunday morning to see the final day of the Junior Festival.

Enough talk talk. More snappy snaps.

1. It was properly dark and miserable early on. Open Sports qualfying

2. Will Bratt leads the FPA's away through the spray

4. Formation sliding from the T-Cars

5. Darren Bly's 750 bhp Nissan Skyline. The intake into the turbo could suck birds off the trees

6. James Nutbrown goes collecting leaves

7. And finally... Would you park it there?

8. No. I wouldn't have either. Although perhaps under the Safety Car you'd have thought he was safe

So that's another weekend gone by. Just a couple more to go.

Thanks for looking. Any comments gratefully received.

Nice set of images under less than ideal conditions.

As for #7 & #8 though I only met and chatted with you once at Lydden I am starting to wonder as your 'reputation' went before you whether they need to show your mugshot to the competitors at the pre race briefings so they slow down when you are in sight just in case !!!!!! :D ;)

That weather does look a bit crap but I always think it adds a bit of atmosphere, best one for me is the drifting T cars


Cheers

Nice weather.

Saw an article in Practical Performance Car about racing Exiges, and saw one in flames. I thought, that looks familiar, so looked for the byheading and saw they were your shots. :)

Yep. That would be mine. Fame at last. Or should that be "flame at last"... <groan>

It's the shot I used for my avatar :D

Cheers mate. It was depressingly dark at the end. I just gave up and watched the last 2 races.

Thanks will show him the pic. Won't buy PPC - I don't rate it highly. There was an article on the Stratos last year, and we sent a 2 page letter to the editor complaining about all the inaccuracies, and thats without checking all the race results. It was obvious the journalist hadn't done any basic research!

You won't find me at the bloody BritCar. I'd rather impale myself on a fence than watch that again.

Be there on the Sunday. When they aren't.
