I dont like the first three, sorry. Close ups of cars dont do anything for me. That audi is gorgeus!!! I want one. Great shot. That formula Jedi (?) one is good as well.

i agree with matt on this,

it does look like a formula honda/jedi/600 (all the bloody same thing!)

Audi Quattro Sport (is it a real one or has someone made one using an Audi 80 bodyshell? [windscreens are raked at different angle to the 'Life on Mars' style Quattro]) is my favourite.

Formula Jedi second, although these are tricky buggers as the spokes on the wheels can be tricky to blur...

Close up of tin-tops IMO don't really work - fine for open cars as more to see.

Really appreciate the comments :) the first 3 tin-top closeups i personally liked as they are differant to most of my other motorsport shots... Obviously, that doesnt make them work for everyone else ;) but i still like them.

Ill have another look thru the shots from the day and add a couple of open top and maybe a couple of Quattro shots. :)

Here is another view of the Audi, you might be able to tell if its the real deal.

That Audi is very much the real deal and a regular tarmac burner up all the Big Hills,wonderful machine.
I do like the last two,nice angle on the greed single seater.

Sorry no shots of the runaway hay-bail.

I look forwards to see your shots from this weekend, one thing a that ive only just remembered was the tog that asked to have a look thru my 1dmkII+300f2.8IS, fun bloke who proceeded to tell me how he was looking to spend £9-10k on a 100-400L. Think he must be getting it from Jessops to be paying that much. :p

Found this one... looks like a tog acting suspiciously around a haybail, not sure if the bail took offence and tried to chase him off though mind.

Viper vest pack thing, with 2 litre bladder strapped on the back, Viper vest will only hold a litre bladder I think !

Hydration is important !

Very true, which is why i pitched up next to the burger van... cans of coke and huge double cheese burgers ensured i was well hydrated and nourished. ;)

Darryn

300f2.8IS but i think you may be right. :)... see if you had a TP strap we could have had an impromptu TP forum meet... :p

This is me in my Jedi - Its a Mk5 Jedi Hilclimb car and not a Formula Jedi which is a circuit car. Much lighter and agile than the race cars running bigger wings and tyres and without the safety ironmongery of the circuit cars!!! Glad you like the pic!
