Brands Hatch Historic Masters - Time for a hosepipe ban!!

GSH · 28th of May 2007 (Mon)

Ahh, early summer in Kent aka The Garden of England. Birds sing in the trees, rabbits play happily in the fields, or at least they would if the poor buggers hadn't been drowned by a downpour that lasted pretty much all day...harrumph !

#1. Group C, the sports prototypes designed for the Le Mans 24 Hours etc. This one's an Intrepid. Did i say how wet it was ?

2# You wait all day for 1....A lovely pair of Alfas from the Top Hat Masters.

#3 This is F1 as it should be. A gorgeous ex Ronnie Peterson Lotus 76.

#4 The Group C field led by a pair of Jaguars (XJR 11 & 12)

#5 Nissan NPT 90 GTP.

#6 Gorgeous GT40 from the Sports Racing Masters-It sounded a bit rough though..

#7 Lotus 76 emerging from the gloom...

#8 Ex Niki Lauda March 721G

As always C&C welcome. Full gallery is up in the usual place.

Thanks for looking.

Was it raining Geoff? The JPS and the Jags leading the pack are the pick of the bunch for me.

Cheers
Ian

Just a light shower Ian...

Nice Geoff, also love the Group C pack shot. Glad I'm not the only one who thought it sounded a bit dodgy.

Joffan · 28th of May 2007 (Mon)

That looks worse than yesterday!

Nice series indeed Geoff. Good work.

KevB · 28th of May 2007 (Mon)

Great stuff Geoff. All that rain, but I bet it was still better than Croft last weekend.

Simon Harrison · 28th of May 2007 (Mon)

These are all absolutely spot on Geoff. The first 5 in particular are right on the money. I'll have to pick 3 favourites and go with #3, #4 and #5. Great stuff.

Cheers,

Simon.

Think i'll print that out & frame it, thanks Simon

3 is through Doc Palmer's infamous fence at Druids. 4 is also through a fence which has a very nice (large) TV camera flap in it. 5 is fortunately a nice clear view

Love the Alfa's. I can't get over how small the old F1 cars are. It always amazes me when I see them at the Road America vintage races.

RadAL · 28th of May 2007 (Mon)

very nice stuff. *applause*

petrolhead · 29th of May 2007 (Tue)

I would agree, no3 is perfect, well done Geoff

Echo63 · 30th of May 2007 (Wed)

#2 and 3 would be my favorites, they all look good though
love the size of the rear tyres on the old F1 cars

Paul C-J · 30th of May 2007 (Wed)

i decided not to go after looking out the window

nevets2001uk · 30th of May 2007 (Wed)

All good but I really like No. 3 and 4.

Cheers,
Steve

Really great stuff, I actually ended up loving the subjects and not concentrating on the excellent photography. Gotta love the shot of the Alfa's though...
