FIA European Truck Racing Championship - Donnington

Hi All

Just a few from today`s action at Donington Park...

1.

very cool shots. Unique vehicles for sure.

Fantastic shots of some unique looking trucks! Love the post processing done in photo #2. Great stuff!

Cheers Guys, first time the FIA European Truck Racing Championship has been in the UK for 12 years... was a great day...

Has to be 3, 4 ,6 and 7 out of these for me Alan, the others look a bit washed out...shot through fences by any chance?

What state is Donington in at the moment?. I know the infield is supposedly closed but is it possible to walk a full loop from the Esses round to Regate on the outside yet ?

some of the best racing action watching trucks, shame they pulled the series from NZ ive been for a ride in one and it was unreal

Hi Geoff

I was thinking the same about washed out, none of the pics are through fence.

3,4,6,7 are all taken with 70-200 throughout the day.

But the rest taken with 70-200 + 1.4tc and taken between 9am & 10am at Craner to Old Hairpin... all I can think is that all the way done to Donny we had fog/mist and wonder if still slight a bit when we arrived.

Would this give them a washed out look ?

Strange as it may sound this is my first visit to Donington, and was shocked at the state of the infield, basically most off it is a building site.

That said was talking to a few people who said a great amount off hard work has been done and week on week it is getting better... We are heading down for the WTCC, so can see what will have been done in 2 1/2 months.

This is a BASIC...lol... map off what is open to public..

Yeah, these are really good to watch and a ride in one would certainly be UNREAL.... Hope NZ gets a round next year... Have been 12 years for the UK

#7 is cool because it shows the engine is actually behind the truck cab instead of under it
