Telford Winter Stages - Sweet Lamb

[jon.s]

My take from a very foggy, wet Sweet Lamb

Nothing special this time just a few quick pics i've sorted through

#1 When the Course Car has a moment you know your at the right location

#2 But you don't expect someone to try taking the corner flat out and wishing they had wings! Sadly the crew were slightly injured but in their good humour they have asked for these to be posted to show them off (Top Sportsmen!)

#3 The impact, Resulting in the Driver sustaining a broken sternum, Co-driver almost biting his tongue clean off and a cracked rib.

Nice pictures of the flying red Escort. You were in the right place at the right moment. I hope I could take some shots like yours.

Nice action shots.
Looks like pretty far from ideal weather for shooting but your 1D MK2 did good work

Grim conditions,Jon !!

Looks like you had some poor light there to deal with Jon but love the "flying Farmer" shot but as Pons says shame about the prat in the background, love the last one too, nice low angle :-)
