Clio's and more @ Castle Combe today

[ukaskew]

Classic/Sports Car trackday at Castle Combe today, strangely quiet in terms of spectators but the track action was fun as always.

Took the opportunity to have a play with the settings a bit and vary my usual technique, pretty happy but it was sooooo hot and sunny that it was a nightmare to avoid glare etc.

 

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

Good pics fella, like the one of the Ferrari, spot on

 

[Big Iain]

It was going well, although the Williams was the car keeping the more powerful metal honest...although he is a CC regular. No effects used on any of the pics, all straight from camera (apart from obviously the colour change on the old effect one)

Ferrari P4. It's a replica, the few orginals are worth over £5m! I believe this one was running a very topical engine for this site, a Renault V6! I think they have a lot of Renault components actually.

Nice shots Chris, the sun was a pain. Just uploaded mine for the two hours I had there this afternoon. No Clios apart from the KTEC 172 Eating a scooby!

Was quite as they did nt invite half the clubs they normally do, to make it a classic & sportscar themed day, didnt look like that to me normal stuff there as ever.

We were there from 10am and despite taking the proper precautions the missus was burnt quite a bit by early afternoon, we left at about 3pm so missed the K-Tec and Megane F1 on track.

Loads of spins at Quarry though, all good fun!

 

[Rich]

Must have just missed you. Was there from 3 ish onwards.

No incidents apart from a Cav nearly going off

 

[ukaskew]

Gutted I missed the Meggy on track, trying to talk the missus into getting a Megane Trophy (Orange Focus ST-2 is the current line of thought from her) and after seeing the F1 parked up she was getting there, seeing it on track would have been better though!

 

[Rich]

Parked up next to the Meggy as he was getting ready to go out on track. I left Quarry got near Avon Rise and realised he was out already, hence the pans and rear shots of it there, as there was no way I would have made it to camp!

Much prefer it to the Focus. The F1 did look sweet.

 

[Justin]

Some cracking pics there mate!

 

[fin_tm]

Quality pics there! What camera + lens?

Panasonic FZ20 (point and shoot, so no different lenses etc to worry about)
