When to Brands on Saturday to test out the new lens. The light was pretty variable... everything from almost dark through to bright sunlight.

Nice work under obvious difficult lighting conditions.

I especially liked this one (http://gallery.ukmotorsportpics.com/p14264591.html). I like the reflection in the paint of #262. Close racing.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks :D yes, those guys (and girls) really don't hold back in that old tin. It's great to watch!

You're quite right, he's facing in about exactly the wrong way for that corner. The end result was this... if you look closely you can see "opinions" being exchanged.

Some nice shots from your new lens, love the one in the gallery of the Morgan 3 wheeler, having been in one on the road I wouldn't fancy taking one on the track.

Cheers

Nah, one thing you rapidly realise when hanging around a race track is that no driver ever believes an accident is his fault... or if he does he never, ever admits it. It's either another driver's fault or the car broke... The closest you will ever get to "it was my fault" is "it was a racing incident".

Nice shots, as always:cool:

That TR6 is a very nice looking beast:)

OK ;)

I was hoping for some more of the TR6 :)
But it does have a very pretty girlfriend.

Here it is playing with an E-type around a different part of the circuit.

Thanks Ian. You're right, I wouldn't fancy taking a little Morgan out on the same track as some of those big Bentleys... there's something of a size discrepancy there and I know which one would come off worse in a "coming together".

Great work there! no driver ever believes an accident is his fault... or if he does he never, ever admits it. The technical term we used to use was "Brain Fade". ;-)

A little bit late in posting on this as I've been in relaxing in North Wales for a week.

Some cracking shots both here and on your website. Nust admit I'm a sucker for the classic and vintage racers, with a real soft spot for the Big Healeys in particular (shame to see one on the end of a tow rope!). That lens seems to be the business.

Look forward to seeing more.

Cheers,

Simon.
