Being a street circuit I was very limited to few places for long shots without a grandstand seat.

Cars are constructed on a purpose built steel tubular space frame chassis with integral roll cage construction designed and approved to stringent engineering specifications. The lightweight composite body is a faithfully designed caricature of its full size counterpart featuring opening doors, boot and lift off front section. Powered by a 1.2 litre 125 BHP twin cam 16 valve engine that revs to 11500 RPM. the performance is exhilarating. The 450 kg all up weight provides an incredible power to weight ratio that allows the little machine to rocket to a speed of well in excess of 200KPH

Any chance you have a shot of John Bowe's Camaro as I designed his new livery, thanks in advance.

Very unusual machinery ,thanks for posting.
Given the restrictions the pics are nothing inspiring and the shutter speeds make them look parked.
