Lydden Hill - 28th & 29th June - The Prettiest Circuit in... well... Lydden

Morning / afternoon / evening all.

Returned to the old stamping ground of Lydden Hill International Motor Racing Circuit (if you have to say "International" then it probably isn't) for the BARC race day last weekend. Now I know Lydden threads hardly ever get commented on for some reason but sod it, here we go again.

All shot with 30D and 100-400 although don't tell the girlfriend but I'm ordering my MkIII after pay day! (Insert suitably smug smiley)

So... photos.

1. Garry Lapinskis round Paddock in a Tiger. Turns out I really want one of these cars

Ha ha , i really like lydden too...

number 4 for me dude , all very sharp and interesting..

very nice shots man. #6 made a little piece of me die on the inside, Big muscle car guy here but a buddy has 3 sitting at his house and after riding in one me wants. Anyways nice shots.

#4 does it for me, although they are all great.

Nice set. Great catch on the third one.

I see the crash magnet is at work again but #4 got away with #7 sadly not equally succeeding.

Nice set and Lydden is a nice place to see the action & I base that comment on just the one visit at a SEMSEC meet in 2007.

Never been to Lydden Hill, but, a mate of mine is building a Tiger! Nice pics btw!

I like Lydden - its like a scrunched up miniature Brands Hatch.

Nice action shot of the wreck, seeing the debree in the picture makes it real.

Fortunately he runs a business building quick Skylines but still expensive!

My accident magnet status is undeserved! Almost! SemSec again next weekend if you fancy it!

I love Lydden but seem to be plans to change it considerably so if you haven't been yet then GO!

It was real to poor old Darren in it too. After a trip to hospital he was fine though thankfully.

Cheers all

Some nice ones there J. Not ventured as far to Lydden, might check it out for the Rallycross, could be quite silly. #3 I like, you do that type of shot at Druids, bit different

Cheers Az. August Bank Holiday is the rallycross at Lydden. I'll be down there as I've not done it before and figured it would be fun!

I will try to get to Lydden again sometime but next weekend is tied up (non photographically) so is the next one (Farnborough Airshow [Friday] and Big Cats Sanctuary POTN get together [Sunday]).

Very nice indeed Joffan, love 3 & 4

It's going to be for sale when he's finished it, I'll let you know!
