Excellent photos as usual everyone! I finally managed to become an offical photgrapher for this race, (I hope to continue this into 2008.) so I am unable to post any links to my photos here anymore. However there will be some photos appearing in the usual place over the next few days.;)

I saw you the other side of the fence ... well done, how did you manage that??!! I'm extremely envious!

Here are some shots from practice and qualifying - hope to get race pics on later today.

Hi guys my site is now uploaded with sat and sun at thruxton.
Images are a little dark as i need to lighten em.

www.djphoto.org.uk:cool:

[Assassin]

Brooklands, you should not be too envious of those of us that do some work on the other side of the fence, often the spectator photos, yours included, are equal and even sometimes better than 'media' photos.

One of my photos has made it along side some of Marc W's images, on a certain lady drivers website, other images I've taken will be sent to publications that feature MGs.

[CharlieJ]

Brooklands, some nice kerb-hopping shots there, and a good instance of "right place, right time" for that one of Fiona's wheel going awol.

[Brooklands78]

Race pics as promised....

Race 1 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/sets/72157602432861108/detail/)

Race 2 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/sets/72157602432937824/detail/)

Race 3 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/sets/72157602432983064/detail/)

Pits & People (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/sets/72157602433049716/detail/)

Not so many of race 3 as I wanted to get into position for a shot of the championship winning driver passing their pit crew at the chequered flag - but as it was a red flag, the moment was lost!

Hope you've enjoyed my pictures this season as much as I've enjoyed taking them and sharing them with you. Roll on Brands Hatch!

[Brooklands78]

....and finally,

I sneaked this shot of two of the hardest working people in BTCC taking a well deserved break after the final race at Thruxton -

http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/1578872619/

Alan Hyde, who has kept everyone trackside informed, amused and entertained with his commentaries and Alan Gow, without whom I'm sure we wouldn't have just had such a fantastic season of racing. But the picture just cries out for a caption - so over to you! Post any suggestions here - but PLEASE keep them clean and respectful!

[kezbabybabe]

Hi Guys,

I've finally uploaded my Boyfriends pictures of Saturday and Sunday BTCC.

I will upload the support race pictures soon. :)

[1.9 TDI]

I like the pic of the inside of the SEAT. you can see the famous fuji safety camera on it's mount.

[kezbabybabe]

Thanks, it's great walking around on the Saturday, as you can get quite close in the paddock without being surrounded by everyone.

[1.9 TDI]

this is a very nooby question but can you just go onto the grid

[kezbabybabe]

I think only if you have a VIP pass. However you could walk around the Paddock (The area behind the grid and Pitlane) this is were they service the vehicles before bringing them on to the track.

Some of the more frequent visitors would be able to answer your question better.

[1.9 TDI]

yeah i always take a look round the paddock but never the grid. But judging by the photos it must be somehow possible.

[b2uk]

To gain access to the grid, you would have to be Media, VIP, Team personel or Access all areas... correct me if im wrong!

[Marc W]

Correct. Although the paddock VIP pass on it's own will not get you onto the grid.

[Gracer]

To gain access to the grid, you would have to be Media, VIP, Team personel or Access all areas... correct me if im wrong!

or if you fancy being a grid girl ????;)

[kezbabybabe]

Of course some people are able to "get" on the grid by taking photos with a really long zoom lens :p

[1.9 TDI]

Of course some people are able to "get" on the grid by taking photos with a really long zoom lens :p

manual - specs - 3x zoom
ah, well I have found a flaw in your plan!

[kezbabybabe]

I'm sorry 1.9 TDI, I don't understand your post :confused:

I think you mean that your zoom isn't long enough to see?

[paul1786511]

Hi Guys my first post here, thought i would share my images with you!

My first time with digital SLR, only had a 55mm lens!

Hopefully better photos this year with 200mm lens!

Enjoy!

[Rusty]

Nice picks Paul and plenty of them...;)

[Romano]

Not trying to put people down, But I prefer taking pictures of the action, Not just 1 car passing at a time.

But each to their own I suppose ;)

[laurat]

great pics there paul - hopefully more to come from you?????!

[paul1786511]

Not trying to put people down, But I prefer taking pictures of the action, Not just 1 car passing at a time.

As i said first time using a digital SLR, or even taking photos for that matter!

Yeah will be at everyround this year, so plenty of action shots.

it;s quite difficult to get 'the action' as you put it because the cars move so fast!!!!!!

when i went to oulton the camera was taking ages to take pics because it needed batteries and i ended up getting a pic of the doctors car instaed of the racers!!!!
