Nah, Porker on cool down lap, but still about to overtake Honda ;)

Elise actually looks like an Exige ?

Anyway, nice shots :D

But who is sad enough to put the label for the car on the number plate ? I usually just have plates I had made up that say "PASS" on them ;)

Cheers

If the Porker was in a gas station maybe.... :lol::p

Great shots! I am going to try and get to the next local SCCA track event for some shots. I don't drive in the events, but a bunch of the guys in my car club do.

It sure does look like a 993 GT2

Oulton Park is in Chesire which is one of the most affluent areas in the UK so there are usually an abundence of fancy motors there for trackdays.

It is also the most beautiful circuit in the UK, excellent to race on and wonderful to take pictures at. Half my life is spent there. We pros must have £5m of liability insurance to cover track days (which I have) and that is why there is restricted places to take pictures from for public/visitors, such as the pit wall in those above. Unlike racing drivers, you can't always trust track day drivers to follow the rules (any rules, including gravity).

Lots of GT2's around that area of Cheshire, not ony affluent in the general sense, but also home to most Manchester United's players.

I've done a couple of trackdays at Oulton and have to agree with you. It's great. Got some decent shots there last time too

Yup, my bad, it's a GT2.
Thanks for your comments on the images :)

Oulton Park is a superb circuit and there are loads of places to get great shots.
