Evening all

Went to Lydden Hill for the third event of the season, the racing was very good and close in a couple of races and i saw one of the best single seater races ive ever seen even though at the beggining it started raining and there was only four of them on the grid. In the Saloon car race at the end of a 12 minute race the Ford RS200 of Nigel Craig took the race win by under 0.03 of a second. Hope you like the pics, i was able to get some different angles thanks to it being a cloudy day.

#6 The bloke driving the Subaru out in front was doing track days last year, this year hes done his third race and got a win, not bad considering he also drives there and home in the same car.

Nice shots! I wish we had more of this type of racing in the U.S. I grew up going to drag races a lot but never really got into nascar. There is so much more of this type of circuit racing in the U.K. and Europe and I would be at these events all the time if I lived there! I love 4cyl turbo's which we have less of here.

Well taken,Dex ,but lack impact for me re compostions.

I am no circuit man ,and am thinking you need cars dicing to do it,so much is processional on circuits.
