AUSTRALIAN RENAULT NATIONALS

[bluecup182]

The Aussie Nats were held last weekend at Wakefield Park near Goulburn NSW. The weather was horrid, raining all day Saturday and wild winds on Sunday.

It didn't stop the Renault boys boys getting out onto the track though. The track on Saturday was shared with other track uses, but as you can see in the results link, the Renault's showed how it's done. Moosey in a stock 200 Company car, nearly beating all comers. Renault's are very fast little cars. Action on the track was certainly wet and wild with plenty of cars going off. Got to push hard.

Big thanks to all who organised the weekend, all the gents for great friendship and members for some of the photo's I've posted up. Cheers

Was a sunroof an option on 172/182's over there or are they engine conversions?

First bit of footage. There was an option of a GoPro Camera to catch the action if you wanted, as you can see it was very wet out there.

"if you dont mind me asking i love the second pic down can you tell me if you where using a filter as it looks brilliant

thanks...nigel" Quote from PM


Daniel,member Ferret, sent me a message asking what filter I used, and well, it's were photo, so can you help the lad out?

 

[DanielG]

No filter's used. Was a single exposure but I used a graduated overlay in Lightroom that was probably around -3 exposure to bring the clouds back then max clarity and big boost in contrast

 

[ferrett]

awesome daniel... and there was me thinking we only got clouds like that in northern ireland
