Default Two circuits, two extremes

Start of my season today. I had an assignment at Oulton Park for Kit Car Live and arrived on a lovely sunny warm morning. In the afternoon I shot across to Anglesey for the afternoon's testing prior to tomorrow's racing. It was wet, very wet, and cold to boot. The images below are just a quick sample of the extremes in weather and in cars.

A bit of a queue to hit the track-


There was the odd tasty car around:



Over to Anglesey for that rain:



Racing proper tomorrow. The weather forecast is far from promising and waterproofs are a priority.

Nice to see Anglesey living up to it's reputation

If you can't see the sea, it's raining. If you can see the sea, it's going to rain...

OOOOOhhhh that Porsche (replica??) is absolutely gorgeous and, as ever, your capture is spot on. Hope you didn't get too wet.
