Britcar / Formula Palmer Audi Festival

Whilst everyone was at FCS I was a busy lad at Castle Combe photographing the Summer Racing Festival. Britcar and Formula Palmer Audi were the headliners, but the racing in the other series was just as entertaining as well...

It doesn't look good high res, I was hand-holding the camera on a fence so I had to bump the ISO up to bring the shutter speed down to something manageable (20 seconds)...

Yeah I'm pretty sure I have, will have a look tomorrow.

CC Saloons had it's biggest incident in years last Sunday, 2 drivers, 2 spectators and a marshal injured, and several cars in the car park damaged...

No serious human injuries thankfully, cars were in pretty bad shape though.

Thanks for the comments I was shooting at 1/15 - 1/25 on Sunday, that was pretty brutal handheld but gave me some interesting results.
