BTCC @ Oulton Park

[dunganick]

So it was at Oulton BTCC this weekend, naturally i was there after a bit of a drive up there in the morning. Saturday provided some stunning weather and an amazing blue sky (i didn't realise this could happen up north). Whereas Sunday provided one of the most fascinating days racing i have seen in the BTCC for a long time.

Onto the images, Oulton is a bit of a love hate track for me. I love the track, its a great circuit, but i never seem to be able to find original shots there. And once again it seem to have gotten the better of me. Never the less here are the shots.

C+C is greatly appreciated.

1. Some blue skys

2. An idea i've stolen from Steve. Thoughts?

3. Jackson explores a new shortcut thanks to his team mates oil

4. Griffin walks back having caused chaos and nearly being collected by his team mate.

5. Boardman - unluckiest touring car driver in history?

6. Jason 'chuckles' Plato

7. Flash, hard on the anchors (driver of the day for me)

8. Itching to get out there.

9. Macdowall entertaining the crowds

10. Austin tries his hand at rally cross

11. O'Neil having a bit of a think

12. Chilton catches a glimpse of his reflection

13. A dose of Marmite (wish this shot was focused forwards 1m)

14. Pack shot

15. Little bit of a drift

16. Great first outing in the seat for Newsham

Great pictures as usual mate. Like the one showing Sheddens brakes.

Great pictures again.

I really like no.2, the colours really work well. Good car choice.

The portrait ones look really nice too, the last one especially/


With no.13 - You say you wished it was focused forwards by 1 meter? Would that have focused more on the car then with the speed involved? I've never shot cars but i do have problems with mx and downhill getting the focus whilst tracking.
