The next few weeks are forming about a month and a half of firsts. Never been to Spa, going for British GT next weekend. Never been to a Hill Climb event, doing Shelsley Walsh later in the month. The important first here though is that I had, until yesterday never been to Thruxton. First impressions? The facilities are crap, the food is botulism in a bun and the circuit is bloody quick.
Here are a few of my better ones, and one I don't know why I like.
1) Surprisingly slow for a car which as carried the #1 for two years straight but the FF Corse 458 GT3 wasn't on the pace for most of the day. Both the GT and the Challenge spec cars suffered blowouts too.

2) Playing 'how low can you go' with shutter speed in pit lane. 1/20th, I'm fairly pleased.

3) The MacG Taranis looked and sounded great, until it sounded like a tractor and you couldn't see it for the JCB pulling it towards pit lane.

4) This is the one I don't know why I like. The light is bad, I was a fraction of a second late with the shutter so a little bit of Lotus is missing and the Audi is still prominent, but I like it.

5) Waiting for a race car.

6) There is no such thing as a quick tyre change in GT4, but timed pit stops help.
