Awesome shots there, the Red Dragon ones in particular in my opinion. Only been to one rally this year myself (my first ever), Sunseeker Rallye in Bournemouth (25th Feb), shockingly expensive though!

Depends really. Dynamique is the highest spec Sport, whilst Initiale is the highest spec comfort/family/practical Clio.
Extreme is the budget model iirc. The Dynamique is the nicest "normal" Clio I've driven, good balance between toys and handling/performance.
There was a Blue Mk1 V6 Clio at the Castle Combe trackday today. Looked kind of like Mondial Blue in the sun but could have been Lliad I guess, awesome either way.
Never seen a Blue MK1 before, are they pretty rare?
Ok, an obvious thread but we need to christen the new forum, camera/lens info is always helpful too...
My top 3:
All Panasonic FZ20, I'm a bit of a panning lover hence 2/3 the pics I've chosen...
FF1600 CC Championship, this came 3rd in a Castle Combe photography competition...
Oms, did you get any pics you want to share? Would like the one of me and the missus on the DS (I think I remember you taking one), we have like 5 photos together in over 7 years!
lol at Mark, good investigative work there!
I've no reason to believe that 89kgs haven't been shed, why be dishonest about such a thing? But then I also believe air-con is pretty pointless in this country too unless you spend all day on the road (I have a Cup as a daily driver, probably one...
Right here goes guys, approx 160 pics now uploaded, between 10-20 for most of you, all sorted by driver as usual...

A few favourites now I've had a real good look at everything...
lol, it wouldn't be quite the same as running SDV on the circuit, they use it to keep all their museum pieces ticking over. Whilst that will occasionally mean a blip in an XJ220, Viper or Turbo Esprit it was also mean days on end of running 95 year old cars around at 5 mph...not that would be a...
Nice vid. Did you bother with 3rd on the first straight in any of the runs? I was hitting the limiter about a second or so before needing to brake, so there didn't seem to be much point.
I seriously have the bug now, I mean proper obsessive - been thinking about it non-stop since 5pm Saturday! Loved every single minute of it. Pretty annoying as I always pick expensive hobbies, photography, driving etc!
The missus mentioned someone saying there was another date available in...
Omar had his camera out for a while, he hasn't been around since though so we haven't had his pics yet. The missus said he was taking pics of me on circuit too so I'm patiently waiting :)
Happy with my progress, 4 seconds off my first effort by the end of the day which is a fair bit on that circuit, gradually improved throughout the day. My prediction about being second slowest was spot on too! Funnily enough after the wedding break I was out on the circuit for about 8 laps...
Will sort out pics for you and Dan later tonight. Didn't get too many of you this time actually, probably clashed with me warming the car up or something.
Common problem I think Rich, been discussed on the Renaultsport forum many times including very recently. A few have taken them in under warranty and had no luck (unsurprisingly), I think someone had a temperature sensor changed too.
My 1.2 16V did it fairly often, but my Cup has only done it...
Fair point, it's a trade-off between distance and quality and cost! I can get many more shots but I will never achieve that level of quality, then you have stunning clarity at short range but hefty costs to retain that quality at longer distances.
Loving your pics of Nik's car btw, I struggle...
Great pics Pete, I know you said mine were good but you definately have the edge in terms of sharpness and clarity. I've been looking at your pics wishing I could achieve anything like that!
Looking forward to the rest of the pics, hopefully one of mine somewhere! Should be some from Oms at...
...and I finally have some pictures of me! Have never had any before as obviously I can't take them of myself, but the missus got a few for me.
S25 on 3 wheels (just), got to be a first!
They both continued running for the rest of the day, no real harm done as far as I am aware, just cosmetic.
Garf, Dan slid sideways off a corner, the wheel dug into the grass and took the tyre off. He put a spare on, popped the injured one down to the service station to put air in it, and was...
