Oulton Park 27.09.08 - BARC Meeting

[RichardC27]

A great day of varied club racing at Oulton, and decent weather again. My plan to buy shiny new Sigma lens didn't happen, so I'm still using my crappy Canon 75-300mm USM II for the moment. C&C welcome as always.

1. Ric Wood's lovely DTM Astra

2. Ric Wood's lovely DTM Astra has complete engine failure

3. Chris Maries' very fast MK Indy, with turbo Hayabusa power

4. Traditional Oulton shot

5. Getting a little enthusiastic with the loud pedal

6. Michael Blomfield's mental 6.2 litre, mid-engined Sierra RS500

7. A very cool Suzuki SC100, being overtaken by Ian Gorrie's Darrian

8. The usual Legends chaos

9. Close battling at Island

10. BMW's at Knickerbrook

Let me know what you think everyone. There should be much more from the meeting on my Flickr by tomorrow night.

Great set with #5 being my pick - sideways on always appeals to me. Particularly good, traditional Oulton Park image. Colours, panning and lots of action, like them a lot.

#2 for me, nice catch

 

[RichardC27]

Thanks guys, glad you like them. A few more from the meeting:

11. A very nice ex DTM BMW M3

12. A bit of Sports/Saloons variety at Island

13. A very bright Legend

14. Everybody takes avoiding action

15. More E30 BMW M3 action

You should have said hi mate, I'd only have been with my Dad. Where did you see me? I was lucky in being in the right place at the right time when Ric Wood's Astra went right in front of me. Huge shame, it's a gorgeous car and bloody fast. I tried 'the traditional Oulton shot' last week but none of them came out. Got quite a few of the Clubmans cars from down there.

Just infront of Island Hairpin. I was walking up and you were walking down. Just after the Legends race and just before the Max5s.

Yeah, it is rather tasty!!

I find hard to get the focus right sometimes, which is a real pain!!

Some wonderful looking cars there for sure! 1 & 11 would have been a lot better if the front of the car wasn't in shade but can't be helped!

Good crips clear shots. Well done!

Thanks, glad you like them. 1 and 11 were taken at about 9 in the morning during qualifying, so the sun was quite low and casting big shadows around. I tried to rescue them as much as I could with my very limited PP skills.
