I think it's fair to say that Saturday was a perfect example of the Croft weather at its best...and Sunday was very definitely an example of the worst. I hardly bothered with the camera on Sunday due to the Monsoon-like rain.
Anyway, here's some of Saturday's efforts from free practice & qualifying.
1. Tom Onslow-Cole fresh from his double win at Thruxton.

6. Jason Plato was just beaten to 2nd place on the grid by a last-minute flying lap from Gordon Shedden. Unfortunately Jason's race day started with a trip to the Clervaux gravel during a very wet warm-up and got worse from there on..

Gear info for anyone interested - #3 was the Sigma 120-300 and 1.4x, #8 was the 24-105L on Manual with a bit of Flash. All the rest were with the Sigma 500 f4.5 EX. Body as always was the 1DMK2N.
Thanks for having a look. Chatter away at your leisure.
