Thanks a lot. I was accredited which makes a huge difference to photography at Silverstone.

Thanks, I always feel my PP is a bit lacking so that's good to hear.

Great stuff, hard to pick a favourite but love the mixture of cars, old and new & the selection of shots, panning and head on. Between #4 & #7 if i had to choose

Really nice pics. Did you have access track side as I never saw any of these vantage points?

Thanks, yes I was media for the Classic so I had trackside access. There are some tracks (Oulton Park particularly) where being media doesn't really make a difference, but at Silverstone it makes a massive difference to the type of shots you can get.

10 is my favourite. A great selection of shots.

I do love that Ligier. Not quite as good looking as the 1982 Ligier (the Talbot one with the red on it), but very close.

Easily my favourite car in the historic F1 races. There's something very right about that livery on a late 70s F1 car.

I was at the WEC today and planned to try and capture something similar but unfortunately the Stowe grandstand complex wasn't open so I couldn't get close to the position. Were you inside the fences?

Great collection of photos.
One event that’s on my list to attend at some point.

Some cracking shots yet again!

7 & 11 for me, dont know why they just stand out.

10 I think i want to be my favourite (the car and the now iconic stand in the background, however there is just a little to much blur and it makes my eyes go funny
