Great timing, spectacular! Shame they aren't quite bang on with sharpness but I saw the accident on TV (ouch!) and conditions were BAD so you done well

How do you find Donington for photography? I mean from a "spectator" point of view. I've heard mixed opinions, I've never been but would like to go, perhaps to MotoGP

If you are going to the GP make sure you get there for when the gates open, If you dont you cant get close enough to the fence to blur it out. Take a long lens as at some corners the bikes are the size of ants!!!
