2nd time out this year and first time to Brands Hatch. I wasn't going to go yesterday but got a phone call on Thursday from someone who required some shots of the day and was offering media accreditation so I decided eventually that it would be daft to pass the opportunity up.

I don't usually do leather-clad homotorcyclists and haven't ever shot on the hot side at Brands before so if these are a bit rubbish, that's why.

20D/40D/70-200/120-300. Exif data is there for those who like to stick their cold noses up the skirt of other people's images....here goes.

Might as well kick off with a pan

Going into Druids...

...in the middle of Druids...

...and exiting Druids

The Obligatory Tight Rider shot

The Obligatory Bruised Rider shot

I believe this to be the universal hand-gesture for "w*nker"

Finally, a pan to finish

Cheers.

It was all I caught of it! Was the first lap as well...heard the clunk looked around, saw the bike oing end over end and the poor bloke sliding along on his rear into the kitty litter. Game. Over.

Clearways works well with the bikes. How'd you find the access then, try any new angles, perhaps some startline stuff or inside Paddock or just stick to what you know?

For what it's worth have to say I actually enjoy the BEMSEE meets when I can make them. Lots of races, generally good fields and competitive racing. Good value. Probably not so much fun though if you don't like bikes lol
