A weird kind of mixture of cars running up the hill combined with an odd setting but an enjoyable day.

Hi Brands

Nice pics. Which day was that, I was there on the Saturday.
What equipment did you use?

Superb shots, mate. I particularly like the first one. The drivers eyes and the intensity of focus they show make the shot for me.

Thanks Matt and Cadwell.

We were there on the Saturday as well.
I used a 300D and Sigma 100-300 F4.
Too much lens really as we were so close to the track, it felt at times like the drivers were having to duck ;)

Cadwell is right on of course. I like the first one as well, caught my attention right away - the combination of the stressing of the car in the turn and the intensity of the drivers eyes...

Nice shots, here and in your gallery.
This one http://brands85.fotopic.net/p13879157.html looks like his wheels are about to fall off!
I recognise quite a few cars from my visit there a few years ago.

Excellent shots Brands. Look forward to the Austin 7's coming back to Harewood later in the year!

Cheers,

Simon.

Can't add much more to the above, that 1st shot is fantastic.

Some great photos! Does anyone have any from Sunday? Mainly as I was racing on that day, and not the Saturday.

Absolutely terrific. I like the Austin best. The intensity of the driver is unmistakeable.

what the rest of the group has said, that first one is awesome. it might be the angle, it might just be the car, but it looks like its flexing something fierce. great shot, the eyes tell you that the driver is puttin it through its paces forsure...good stuff mate!
