Haven't been anywhere for a while, but took these at the weekend, quite pleased with a couple.


This is one hell of a car

Nice choice of machinary to shoot!

1 - Alfa T-33? One of my all time favorites.

2 - Love the pipes sticking up out of that McLaren.

Good to see they haven't ruined photo access with huge fences and pushed the spectators back yet. I haven't been up there since the Formula Renault and the F1 Live events.

As you can see here, there are fences all around the circuit, but there is still a couple of places where you can see over.
Hollywood bend, the Old Hairpin, and at Mcleans there is a large hole in the fence, just past the marshels post, which is where most of the good pics come from.
But there is no access to most of the in field. But I expect it will get much worse, once all the stuff for F1 is in place. Which will be a shame, as this is still one off the best tracks in the UK.


Here is another of the Alfa.

There's a good spot on the outside of the track by Fogarty's esses on the way into the Melbourne loop. Best spot is at the marshal's post - need a vest for that
But about 5 yards to the right the fence is waist high and you're above the wall of the track, superb action there.

I'll have a look next time I'm there, would be nice to be able to get a vest. I'm sure you can get some interesting shots that way.
