Spent the day in the cold, looking through the endless fencing at Donington last Saturday. On the plus side, the cars and racing were excellent, which more than made up for it.

1/ No.1

2/ Plenty of e-types on show

3/ DB3S out of the old hairpin

4/ XJS chasing down the leader

5/ Last race of the day

6/ E-type challenge

Thanks guys, I'm enjoying taking paddock shots more than on track stuff at the moment.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated. I'm getting a bit braver with the shutter speeds lately, I've got down to 1/60th with the 500mm, any slower and I think the hit rate would go down too far.

:) He did spend most of the time only using 2 and a bit of them though...

Got a few from the same angle (others are on my website), just standard shots.

Sounded great too... but you'll have to add the noise yourself ;)
