British Touring Cars & Support @ Brands Hatch yesterday - good action :)

[Az_GTi]

Was at Brands Hatch yesterday for the BTCC qualifying and support qualifying/races. As always there was a fair amount of action, only downside being that there was no Clio Cup race (didn't know until I got there) *sobs* Oh well, it didn't stop me! :greenpbl:

Lighting was the usual mixbag. Sometimes very bright and sometimes very dark and sometimes both. Felt I handled it pretty well though for a change. I'm still very disappointed by the big fencing at Druids. It's just not possible to completely get through it. Annoys me as such a good photo opportunity is now gone :x .

Anyway watched todays action on telly, seemed like a good race, particularly the 3rd one. I wonder how many people "snapped" the first lap accident at Paddock and the Matt Neal Tom Chilton "incident" up at Druids... we'll see...

I've not finished going through all my photos yet, I'm about 40% complete so all of these are from the morning...

Compressed "forum friendly sized" photos...

#1 Ian Pearson gets a bit crossed up wellying it out Druids...

#2 Matt Neal loses it out of Paddock...

#3 Darren Turner bins his Seat in the gravel up at Druids...

#4 Niki Lanik loses his Clio at Paddock - quite lucky not to roll actually...

#5 Pippa Mann sparks through Paddock...

#6 Chris Stockton takes a trip through the Paddock gravel trap in his Lexus IS200. Sadly he doesn't quite make it out and the session is stopped...

#7 Gavin Smith pushing hard...

If you fancy a butchers at a few more (and a bit larger) then a incomplete gallery is up here - http://www.ae-photography.co.uk/230906.html - I will add more as and when.

Comments as ever are most welcome.

Cheers


Oh and BTW I was at Silverstone last Tuesday for the Formula One Testing. A few photos can been seen here - http://www.ae-photography.co.uk/190906.html - for those who are interested in F1

Thanks bud.

Yes I was pleased with #2, the lighting definately helps, as did "being in the right place at the right time" - something that never usually seems to happen :greenpbl:
