Karting day off at Silverstone.

[PBP27]

My efforts from the WEC event at Silverstone, surprisingly my first time there with a camera after sporadic visits over the last 30 odd years. I read up the tips on shooting through fences and where the best spots are on the circuit before I went, still missed the area around the loop though. I in awe of some of the photos that have been posted already from the event and need some practice away from the kart tracks to approach anywhere near as good results.

A good set..Silverstone is not the best of places for a spectator with a camera..but you have found some good spots.

Thanks Fran, I was back at trackside on Sunday shooting the little machines !

Thank you Paul, I was with an old work colleague and his wife who were kind enough to take me there with them, so I felt a bit guilty about dragging them around Silverstone's vast open spaces, I will have to visit again and find some more of those spots.
