Here are some pics from Sunday - a little later than usual, due to the long drive home yesterday! More to follow later, from qualifying and around the paddock.

Race 1 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/sets/72157601855678347/detail/)

Race 2 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/sets/72157601855812115/detail/)

Race 3 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/sets/72157601849314300/detail/)

My faves are the ones with cars with only two wheels on the ground, and Gordon Shedden celebrating.

BTCC off track (Including the curling comp) and Support races will follow ASAP.

Any chance of uploading larger lo-res images, eg, 800 pixels instead of 500. I suspect you are concerned about protecting your images, you could put a faint watermark on them (I think flickr allows that...?).

I actually upload them at original size but only let certain people have access for protection reasons as you mentioned. I used to let anyone see the full size images but a couple of my photos appeared elsewhere with someone else taking credit so I stopped that. I'd put a watermark on them but part of the reason I put them on Flickr is an extra backup and so I'd like to keep them as the original.

Unfortunately the Support races won't be uploaded for a while now as I'm off to the Silverstone 24 hours for the weekend.

I'll be there too. I'll most likely be in the Luffield terrace, sporting a Snetterton cap, a blue BTCC backpack and a Nikon camera.

In your Photobucket gallery you'll see three lines of code. If you copy "IMG" line (The third one down) and paste it here you can post individual pics and prevent people from viewing your entire album.

It looks like a cracking circuit on the telly, has anyone been there before? We're considering going, its quite a long way for us, but if its a great track then we'll go along.
If you can get there... do it.
My favourite circuit. Basic, bad weather, awful to get in and out of... but fantastic atmosphere and fantastic action.
