Superb vantage point but not too good for pics so I apologise now. We stood on the outside of Avenue and could see Old Hall corner (quite a few fell off here) then down the Avenue, Dentons into Cascades and then we picked them up again as they came in to Knickerbrook (quite a few outbraked themselves here) and lastly we saw them start the ascent up Clay Hill.

Car polishing, I know all us lads are interested biggrin.gif

There certainly wasn't as much paint swapping action as there has been in the past and I didn't feel that there were the numbers of cars in either the Formula Renault or Clio cup races that there had been in previous years. The Cupra cup was a big disappointment, as for the BTCC Plato won the 3rd race of the day with teammate Thompson coming home 2nd which was good.

I'll definitely continue to go to this event at it was a day of non stop racing and for once I have to say that the authorities have got their scheduling just about bang on thumbs.gif

box.gif the second one is a bit poor but I did think the first was quite good for showing the car moving whilst keeping the foreground and people in it, in focus.

It's my 1st attempt at arty shots with a digi camera and it was only my 2mp Canon A60, next time I go to anything like this I'll take my 8mp digi slr and I should get some good ones.

No offence taken by the way .............. sadwave.gif

I have enough trouble taking normal pic's without attempting other shots, Good on you hope you get what you want thumbs.gif
