[Antz172]

lol you must have been a little further down the track from me, as the clio cup accident started right by us. Great pics though

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

Nice pics Lee, quite rare to have a crash happen right infront of you, even rarer to be quick enough to catch it and frame it well on camera !! Fair Play - great pics.

See you at the next meet.

Chris.

Maybe. Have you got the date at hand? I take it that it will be open for all Clios, Megs, etc?

The Renaultsport website is also screwed, but the date is in the track day section.

It's open to all Renaultsport cars, plus Clio 16v and Williams.

Aye - just checked. Looking great there Lee! :approve:

[Pete.]

Awesome pic, good choice of spot to capture it as well. The level of photography on here is always excellent.

 

[ukaskew]

Chuffin ell! Stunning captures there, is it the perspective or are the crowd very very close to that incident? I thought Combe was up close and personal but that's ridiculous!

I've only ever caught one remotely interesting incident before, unsuprisingly that was also the Clio Cup.

I was lucky with the position, I was hanging out the window of the Fogarty Moss centre at the time. Good job I had the 1.4 extender on as it's a bit far for just the 70-200m.

The crowed are pretty close, but the perspective makes it look closer than it is. If you look at the other side of the track the distance is a about half that.

One of the lads at work thought this little kid in the orange shirt in this shot was funny. Everyone else was moving back and he had his hands in the air cheering.

He's in this picture and the next 4: http://www.rapidpants.com/images/gallery/motors/2008/Oulton270708/Oulton_016.html

Oulton Park is a great spectator circuit Chris.

I've heard good things, 400 mile roundtrip isn't going to happen with petrol prices as they are though!
