Got up at silly o'clock (3.45am) in order to get to Mallory Park in good time to unload our race car and sign on / scruit by 8.30am.
Weather forecast was verging on biblical (Old Testament even) so took my waterproofs and camera cover. Rain mostly held off - one or two showers but nothing serious, but the wind was very gusty and was quite difficult to hold the camera still - let alone pointing in the right direction. Weather forecast over, onto the racing...
The Toyota MR2s put on a good show, this taken from the hairpin from the public areas. You don't always need a long zoom - this was 150mm.
Monoposto 2000 race - this Reynard 913 with a VW engine was suffering from fuel starvation problems. Hopefully he'll get it fixed for the next round at Rockingham.
1995 Dallara locking up his brakes
Our car - 1988 Reynard F3 coming through Devil's Elbow. 80mm lens. Public area.
CSCC Swinging Sixties saw this Reliant Scimiter out. This is from the infield section.
Monoposto 1200 & 1800cc practise session
Sometimes you've got to experiment
Beware backmarkers - Mallory is a short circuit - about a 45 second lap in an F3 car (about 105mph AVERAGE) so you come across backmarkers very quickly. This Dallara F398 just touched a backmarker whilst going round Gerards' at about 120mph and was pitched off into the tyre wall. Gonna be expensive... Driver was OK thankfully.
Basic tweaks in lightroom - plus whatever photobucket decides to do to them.

Keep up the good work!!
Mallory is a fantastic little circuit for photography, lots of different types of shot you can take and no real fences, whoop!
