Weather looks a bit mucky!

Where was the first shot taken? Snetterton used to be my old stomping ground!

You Brits often post pictures of Lotus Super 7s. Is this a replica spec class? It's not something we see here in the US.

Great photos, by the way.

Not Lotus Super 7s (although descended from them). The Caterham car company obtained the rights to the 7 from Lotus and has been building and improving them ever since. Caterham Cars Ltd (http://www.caterham.co.uk/). There are other companies such as Westfield which also build Lotus 7 derived cars.

The Caterham races usually have big grids so the racing is very fast and furious. Plus, because there are quite a few races at virtually every UK racing circuit thoughout the year, you will tend to see pictures of them published regularly. A single season in a Caterham will cost the driver in excess of $50,000 excluding the price of the car. Motor racing at any level isn't cheap.

Your spot on with the fast and furious, it's very entertaining watching them fight it out.

The first picture was taken just after the Esses bend going down to Bomb hole bend.

Cheers
