World Series By Renault 2009 - Sun

[banksy87]

As it was free and only half an hour down the road i thought id head over to Silverstone to catch the Renaults in action. Good day in the end, some nice spells of hot sunny weather, fairly good racing and by spending most of my time on the infield at the far end stayed away from the crowds.

Anyway here are some photos ive picked at random, comments welcome:

Typical Clio cup carnage. A rather ambitious lunge resulted in this guy being sent into the gravel

Nice shots! What focus mode did you use for these?

Those Clios like to race closely don't they - a bit too closely in the Luffield complex from what I saw :)

The Meganes were gorgeous, I have to say. I've got some from here that I really need to get around to going through.

Great set there Tom. I am a fan of the slow shutter speed pans like this, and angles too as you will no doubt have seen from some of my posts. I love the new megane trophy - very mean looking machine.

My favourites out of the set have to be 1, 4 & 5. Great work though :D
