Looks like one, I don't know why it would be out with the MX5's (Miata's to the U.S boys)
It would eat those with ease. I've been in one and they are stupid quick.

Great shots, that's one track I would love to go and drive on, instead of on my PS3.

Those are cool. That Lotus shot really grabs me.
One month until my first track days of 2010 (@ Barber). These have wet my appetite.
Thanks

Thanks guys. My fav track of all time, the atmosphere is just great and the track is so fun to drive on(well I was a passenger but still...)

Not sure when the next track day is, friend should know, he goes all the time

These were shot with my friend's sony camera cbecause I dont have any zoom lenses :\


It was a 70-200mm

great pics. I was attending a driving school there a number of years ago when Jeep corp brought three prototype cars there for photo shoot. They told us students no cameras allowed but we got to look at them up close, would have loved to have had even a cell phone cam.

nice shots, just wish the Viper wasn't as soft (panning i know)
not to many atom's out there, they are fun toys. Buddy has one he drove for a couple months and took to the local road course, he had fun passing some $200,000+ cars with his "go kart". He had race tires and setup for the course mind you, ferrari's were on street tires, and they weren't going full out.
It's been impounded for the last 4 months, a d!ck cop pulled him over and said it wasn't legal (it is VIN'd as a kit car, in order to use them here). He got a little hot under the collar after showing the cops all his documents and sitting on the side of the road for awhile. Cops called the flatbed and hauled it off. He's just in court now fighting it, should have it by spring.

Amazing shots, i was there on Sunday 1/31 and was actually parked right near that Porsche in your second picture. That's my friends blue audi in the left side of the Porsche picture! Small world.

You didn't happen to snag any pictures of my car did you?
