April bak holiday @ Castle combe (No 56k)

[R1XPH]

Well inbetween making sure the wheel studs where tight on the car, I nipped off to take some pictures. First time I've really got to try pan shots on fast moving vehicles (had been practicing on the racing school cars but was a tad boring).

When I got back I found my main down fall was I wasn't getting the whole car in the frame, I took a couple of pictures and I'm finding a beam strong enough for the nouse because the car was just out of frame

Any way here are the 'best' ones I took (best veiwed in high res):

Cheers.

Saw your motor down by camp R1XPH, I was parked by bobbies. Some good racing shame not all the evo's made it out and no sign of the 800bhp evo of Norris in the special GT's

I was stood right by Norris's car about 30 seconds before he was called to the pits for his race and the Diff was still sat on the floor! lol. He mapped it whilst driving it there that morning!! Lastminuteracing.com!

Bloody brilliant day out. Lots and lots of £'s worth of damage though. Some massive crashes.

Argh stop making me jealous that i wasnt there lol

Ah cool Was an early bird today.

Did you see the new shape Type R which dumped its engine just before Camp? I had a ride back with one of the MG's and he showed me where one of the pistons flew up and hit his wind screen :S

I was in the pit lane and just looked the other way as it happened lol.


Our car went out with a feckered servo.

New shape Type-R?!

What car do you run?

 

[R1XPH]

White one in the saloon car championship. Went out in qualifying and maybe got one lap in before the engine blew up. Was a brand new one too, just spent £7k on it.

What car do you run?

Today was a Green MG 1400

 

[koi]

Some nice pics there, guess it all comes with practice. Fancy going down to a track to give it a go sometime.

 

[Englebert]

Caterham with aero looks funny!

Elise looks like a proper race car... best there

 

[jim cook]

Love the shot of Simons Radical.. Also saw you down at camp when i dropped my mate off to sign on marshalling....

 

[ukaskew]

Road legal as well (and actually used on the road as well, might even drive to the track but not sure if that's still the case)

Here is the Saloon crash...

[R1XPH]

Seen that Exige driving through my village a few times.

What do you recon to my pics Chris?

 

[Russ_16v]

all the marshals look like umpalumpas lol

He can't do this as all cars racing at Combe have to be declared off of the road...

Nothing in the reg's backs this up?

 

[Ash87]

Cool pics Rich

Never heard this before or seen it in the regs, several of the Saloon cars are road legal iirc and a number of them sport valid tax discs. I know the 106s were driven to the circuit last season and there have been visiting series where cars driven to and from the circuit score extra points.

Another crash vid, anyhow...

Great stuff, what equipment you using now? As you say the panning takes practice but you seem to have he hang of it, gets easier with time!

 

[Duck]

The guy with the S1 Rallye got bollocked for driving to the circuit when his tow truck broke down a mile or two from the circuit. If you're right then party on! No tow truck/trailer required!

Incorrect - rubbish! There are cars in both the Special GT's and Saloons there are and have been road legal. A trailer just means it is easy to get home after lol

Obviously if you want to drive the car there it needs tax and mot ....

Simon Norris arrived at Combe in his Evo on Trade plates on Monday to!

 

[Russ_16v]

You going to be at combe for the spring day chap? Would love some more of your great pics!

 

[jim cook]

Mark Funnell drives his Lotus to the circuit sometimes , And correct about Simons Evo.

i had a play with his old evo 6 afew years ago on the way testing and lost badly

 

[jim cook]

By the way

Good find chris on the saloon crash video
