NG Road Racing -RD1 Brands Hatch

Few photos from Sunday . Shooting through the fences in most .

Nice, well done. Like the clearways shot best. I went saturday was raining all day and was very disappointed that Brands have put a high fence up at Surtees (can't see any point of this fence!), there is now only 1 close clear view there now which is on the inside of druids.

BTW did you get any of #71 Aprilia RSV4 Powerbike?

Love the wheelie shot - I didn't manage to get any of those : (

Hello Nick , Ive just had a quick look and I dont think I have, but when I get home Ill have another look on my home PC for you .

Cheers alone .

Hi,

I'm going to Brands for the first time this weekend. Where is best to take some shots for spectators?

Probably inside of Druids, other than that there is a window in the fence round Clearways. Alternatively if you can get close to a fence i.e. Surtees, outside Druids shoot wide open you will take the fence out of focus. Don't think I will bother with Brands any more

No they do seem to have made photographing at Brands harder in the last few years. World Superbikes was even worse , massive sponsor boards at Druids . Was almost impossible

Brands Hatch, particularly the Indy circuit is now an almost complete waste of time and I only use it for lens tests at the start of the year. It's a sign of things to come; in 5 years time public photography at UK race tracks will be an impossibility.

Yeah ,I agree , the GP circuit isnt quite as bad , but I can easily see it going the same way . The viewing at Dingle Dell or Sheene Curve has been restricted now .

Hopefully wont be a problem when I get my media pass ....

I went to Brands Saturday, was a complete waste of time, cannot get a clear shot at all now. They a spoiling it for photogs and all spectators putting these massive fences up, can never get a clear view of what you are watching. Its like watching cage fighters

Sigma 500mm for that shot

Media pass now that would be spot on.

Nothing like some obstacles in the way then
