Le Mans Part 2

[Gary]

still not many Le Mans shots on the forum, so here's some more!

1) Porsche 962 getting it sideways

2) XJR9 bringing back memories of the golden era

3) One of the more familiar sights in Le Mans

4) Latest Playstation 3 accesory

5) Not a particularly good pic, but its very interesting to compare the dash on the pug with the Audi.. Got told off by a Peugeot team member for taking this one, but what you gonna do

6) Way too many compliments in my last post, so here's one you wont like

7) And another

8) And another lol

9) I think this guy left the handbrake on!

10) Did this one already 2 years ago, but I was running out of ideas so i did it again

you were right bout the last few. i think i prefered part 1 but 1,2 and 3 look good to me. amazing how different the wheels are, i thought it wouldnt have that much of a difference.

 

[mobilevirgin]

I like them all- even the ones that cause me to look sideways. Love the heat haze on #7

 

[Morph]

Great shots. Love the nigth shots especially. Do you agree with Ron Dennis's comments about Lemans not being a proper race?

Composition on #8 is lovely. You're right about the others that we won't like (well I don't). #7 I guess works if you were to fill the bottom space with text. i.e. in a magazine spread?

 

[desantnik]

#7 That sort of works doesn't it? Its certainly interesting enough for me to spend some time looking at it anyway...

#9 I don't like this as much as the other night shot...

#10 is possibly an oldie but a goodie

Neil

When did he say that? I can only assume he didn't watch this one!

Hmmm....too many compliments eh? OK, #3, I realise you may have been slightly distracted, but you chopped off their feet :nono:
Lousy composition on the steering wheel shots, anyone would thnk you had to grab and run












Fairly decent set there overall

 

[rhubarb]

Nice shots. I actually really like shot 6 (the one we wont like). Why do you think we wouldn't? I think its a much more 'commercial' shot than the others, but for me it works.

Love the Jag one always liked seeing them race

I'm lucky enough to have a rear tyre off the winning Jag at the 1000k race at silverstone in 1986 signed by Warwick and Cheever plus a limited edition print of the car crossing the line signed by both drivers and Tom

Have Audi spelt Ignition wrong? (left hand side of dash behind steering wheel - red switch)

I wanna do Le Mans next year - I need some practise for a night meeting at Teesside Autodrome in October, so maybe I'll go to the Britcar 24 hrs at Silverstone (or the 2CV 24hrs at Snetterton! - although looking at the Calendar I'm supposed to be at Oulton Park that weekend)

i've got an endplate from one.. lets see if we can find the rest of the bits and make a whole car

 

[desantnik]

I hope you are disposing of all these parts in an environmentally sound way

LOL as long as we make it road legal

I'll have to find my other bits off all sorts of cars, including the number plate from the french racing truck that nearly killed me.

I hope you are disposing of all these parts in an environmentally sound way

No way was offered £1000 for the tyre a few years back

 

[Snowball]

Think number 7 is my favourite out of this set... Really nice

I knew the Chinese were desperate for raw materials, but that is incredible

At least I'm not the only one who noticed! Yeah I don't know what ignation is..

I like the night shots the best I think, especially with the light trails

 

[Matt Sayle]

I really like number 7. Le Mans in something that I really want to do one year

 

[Brocks]

You've got all the shots I couldn't...Being inside the fence is a definate advantage. I'll post up some of mine later! But they are no wher near this good!

its practically impossible to get decent shots behind the fence. theres normally too many people in the way too.

 

[Gary]

i zoomed into the dash.. its def a spelling mistake. well spotted andrew

 

[Kosta]

great shots Gary. Oh what i would have done for a media pass! I gave up on getting any decent shots after Thursday!

its a funny thing, though. a lot of guys with media passes were wishing they could just dump the camera and go party, and a lot of people partying wished they could have a media pass.

I was one of the lucky few who got a nice balance.

I'd have been like you. Happy Balance!

Whats the criteria for getting a pass at Le Mans? do you need accreditation still like the MSA require?

pretty much same as everywhere. you need to prove you are giving them good publicity and have been for a while
