Lotus WR Attempt @ Brands Hatch

top stuff. look how moody that sky is in the first one!

Sunbeam Lotus...argh

ive always liked lotuses. i want one!

Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious

In fairness only 2 out of 317 broke down during the half hour they were on the track

I could be tempted by an Exige though

Lotus Sunbeams mmmmm....a proper hot hatch, 155bhp, 2.2 litre engine and RWD not bad for 1979!

The lighting in the first one is great!

They were the only two at the event. There was one Carlton and not a Cortina to be seen.

I was very pleased with the first shot, particularly as the lighting draws your eye into the picture. I wish the numpty had been sitting in his car properly, but you can't have everything. There again, perhaps because of the way he is looking it again asks you to look further?

looks like it was fun , were there any old racecars there ? I like the angles you have used.

Nice shots!
Shot #3: Ever wonder why a bunch of wannabe "race drivers" can't keep the gaps closed up? It's not like they're heating up the tires & brakes.

There was some doubt if the attempt counted as, it seems, they were unable to keep all of the cars moving at one time. This was perhaps due, in part, to people trying to keep excessive gaps and others hanging back so they could have a little sprint.

The attempt was on the Brands Hatch Indy circuit. They did try to open up the GP circuit half way through but no one took the diversion and so missed out.
