A bit of a loopy day for motorsport with the first two hours of a six hour event basically washed out. Still the weather perked up eventually and the cars came out to play.

1. One of the first shots of the day to show the weather conditions. This turned out to be a six lap race (three under SC) with two red flags! ISO 1600 unfortunately as it was very dark.

More shots will be posted tomorrow (I'm limited to 4 per day with my host).

All shot with a Canon 20D, 70-200mm f2.8 IS, Kenko 2.0 TC and todays rain cover was sponsored by Morrisons. :)

C&C always appreciated.

John.

#1 is nice john. It shows just what a lousy day it was early on.

Rob Collard was unlucky. He got tapped by another car and caught Mike Jordan trying to keep hold of the car.

Recorded it and watched it looked like a bad day, i was at the tees again but the lass took her son and his friend to it she text me about 12 saying "this is not my idea of fun" it was not any better where i was i was lucky i was getting wet deliberately..

Collards car looks a bit wrecked looked not as bad on the Tv thats the power of cameras though :)

Cheers, I actually gave up and quit thinking that the racing would be called off. But as I was driving out of the parking field, the rain pretty much stopped and so I parked up and went back in. Worth it in the end, but a miserable couple of hours at the beginning.

John.

Some great shots John in difficult conditions, I really like the first one as it shows the conditions and it's a great capture.


Cheers
Ian
