Hola

Was at Brands Hatch again today for the second instalment of the WTCC. Another outrageously hot day.

I spent all day at the top of the Druids hairpin as it's a great place to watch the racing from, so I make no excuses for the shots being shabby and similar!

Here goes...

Opening lap and they're up to no good already. Menu and Farfus collide, no one goes off - luckily

Smart looking BM, shame it's not that fast

Racing was pretty close at times...

...too close at others. Volvo gets shunted into a trip to the beach

Dan I was there both days. Jon got the Elan on fire apparently...

Saw you at the bottom of Paddock Hill, is that post 4?

Top bombing Dave.

Good stuff Dave. Quality pan for #8.
I didn't even get around to Druids, spent all day at Surtees and Stirlings.
