I was on camera at Both Brands and Thruxton, but it was so blurred I only knew it was me because of where I was on the track at the time!

How do you work that one out?
Just because I dont sit there all day with the BTCC highlights DVD on slow motion trying to see if I'm on a camera shot dont mean your not a fan of the BTCC does it.

At Snetterton 2003, I was standing at the gate by the pit lane and Diana Binks was interviewing one of the Formula Renault drivers for TV. When I got home and watched the footage I had recorded from Motors TV, there I was in the background :D

My wife, eldest son (youngest wasn't born) appeared in Autosport sitting at the front of the old Grandstand at the top of Paddock hill at Brands in 1995, In 2000 when the BBC sti;; showed coverage, Charle Cox, John Watson and the young lady whose name escapes me were intoducing the programme as a voice over as the camera panned around the pit walkabout starting with my eldest getting a driver's autograph, then with a masterful bit of camera work it then showed Charlie etc. walking into the pitlane as they spoke, with myself waliking down the pitlane behind them youngest son on my shoulders and my eldest beside us on his way to get that autograph. Still haven't worked out if it was time travel (all of about 10 seconds or bad continuity on the BBC's part.:D
When Matt Neal crashed at Brands this year we were sitting at the front of the banking at paddock but only appeared as a blurr.
WTCC at Brands My youngest and I can be seen standing watching the cars coming out of Druids in a photo in Motorsport News. Again a blurr in the tv coverage did get a clear shot of our tent though.

In a picture, which was on this site, it's of Chilton passing Thompson, I think.
You can see my brother & cousin sitting down and can see half of my dads body lol, then you can see from the neck down of me..whilst I was taking a picture.
It's pretty cool seeing yourself on camera and stuff..lol

Hey Michos no problem, and welcome to the forum.

Been on a few times unfortunately last occasion at Silverstone sitting in a rather sparsely populated grandstand so no one else to deflect the cameras!!
