Classic Sports Car Club R5 - Brands Hatch
Got offered a last minute ticket for this event as a friend of mine was racing, so popped down to Brands to watch.
Didn't intend to take pictures of anyone other than my mate, but there were some lovely classics out on track, so I couldn't help myself... https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1829/4...4305cd68_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/852/41...708cd5d0_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1767/4...11e65ab7_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1783/4...23ceb4dc_b.jpg Pretty much all the classics you see in this post were from the "Saloon & Modsport Championship". Never heard of it before, but I really want to see more as there were some beautifully prepared classic cars in the class. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/934/43...3a61c567_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/927/29...8b320f7b_b.jpg My mate was racing a G55 in the "New Millenium" category. The vast majority of cars in the class were M3's, but there was also a GT3 Porsche and Lotus Evora. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/941/41...9ed9201f_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1823/4...61eed652_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/834/29...62f7d8ab_b.jpg Yes, that's a Morris Minor! https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1767/2...e048b07c_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/940/43...e6342f92_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/914/28...ec588429_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1802/2...f39ca6ef_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1766/4...0b2a0e7a_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1764/4...0b074e4e_b.jpg After a chasing M3 crashed and the GT3 Porsche retired my mate went on to take the win. Having won two rounds in a row now, he will have a 1 minute penalty the next time he is out, so unlikely he can make it three in a row! https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/914/43...fbe0d565_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1767/4...691012e0_b.jpg Sorry, not much variety in the shots, but there aren't many spots without high fencing on the short circuit (and it was too hot to look for any new ones!). Few more pictures here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/229616...57698825338614 If anyone is interested! |

As far as I am aware it was the original Baby Bertha. They spoke about it on the commentary a few times and said it was on loan from the owner who has restored it. Sounded great powering out of Druids! :doubleup: |
Excellent photos. Thanks for sharing. Pin sharp pan shots are something I have never mastered ! Can I ask , are they straight out the camera or Are you post processing and cropping ?

I do use Photoshop to add watermarks and, truth be told, I would like to better understand what else I could do with it. For the last couple of years I have said I would use the off-season to sit down and get my head around it: but I still haven't round to it! :lol: |
