Hi there,

WOW !!! What can I say, the FIA GT series is go for 2008.

Today was the turn of the GT3 and GT4 cars to head out on track, took my new camera and got loads of pics, still working through them but thought I would share a few.

I am back at the track tomorrow for the GT1 and GT2 practice sessions can't wait to see the big boys out on track.

Morgan Aero 8 - these sound phenomenal

Quite a few F430's out today

Aston Martin DBRS9's six of these running in total

Ascari's making a welcome return for 2008

Finally one from GT4. 2008 sees the debut of the new KTM X-BOW, this things have to be seen to be believed. Amazing and look like great fun.

More to follow from me soon inc loads more from GT4.

Hope you like the pics.

Regards

Tim

Nice set of pictures.

A bit more variety of composition would have been nice, but I know once you get a good position it is hard, and sometimes not possible to move.

It is good to see a good variety of cars. The GT40 is a welcome surprise, and that KTM looks mad, and something totally different. I hope to see these on TV at some point.

Some great hardware out there, the compostions is a bit static but I think the variety of machines makes up for that

Wow, theres some nice metal out there! Could do with a few more angles but lovely shots all the same. You liking your new camera then?

Guys,

Thanks for the comments.
I understand about the composition being abit the same but I really like that location so I did spend a while there.

Have about 3000 other pics to work through from yesterday and today, and many of these are from different locations.

Will post a selection when I get chance.

Regards

Tim
