Hi, everyone. If you're lucky enough to be out and about during some circuits' general test days and you spot a BTCC team testing in the build-up to this season then this is the place to post 'em.

Including lots of the pretend BTCC cars on track!
Not my best days shooting ever, although the cold weather didn't help. Some of the later photos suffer a bit from the lack of light and I may replace them with edited versions when I get time.

looking through your pictures... what ground-work were they doing on the inside of paddock?

They had moved the barrier back a bit as you go up the hill, just the part that is diagonal to the track. Before this they've also done some similar work around Clearways and Mclaren.

Is that Chiltons old race suit from when he raced with Honda Racing back in 2003 with Neal and Morrison? :confused:
Or are Honda backing the Halfords this season? :confused:

There are some images on there of some trucks which look identical to the trucks that rob huff used for his interview about truck racing in the motoring news! Was rob huff driving one of the trucks when you were there cus it seems very coincidental!

The give away to the answer in the suit could lie in the Green Flag patch I think. Unless of course they are sponsoring this year too.

Holbon your pictures are very good and I really like the new Lexus livery, probably the best livery it's ever had.
These car are calling out for them to be made into diecast models so I think I'll be e-mailing Minichamps again.
I can't wait for the season to get underway.

Chilton did have a set of orange rims as well. They both had a set but changed them so often it was difficult to keep up. :p

wish i had space to upload all my pics as 1200 pics at 2.5mb each takes alot of space when going to 20-30 events a season that why i just pick 40-50 for each event.

That's why I use Flickr, unlimited storage for a reasonable fee. I use it as a back up as well as to display them which is why there are so many uploaded. It's still nowhere near how many I took over the weekend though. Thanks for all the nice comments (Everyone who made one!).

Thats why I ONLY upload thumbnails @ 800 pixels...
(1) makes uploading quicker
(2) people dont have free access to your hi-res images

You can control who has access to the high res images on Flickr by setting it to allow access to only Friends and/or family contacts.

I just put a few on and put the rest on DVD at the end of the year but i use fotopic as it cheaper than flickr and can put a watermark on the pictures even though they are made smaller than the actual image.

Nothing special really, Panasonic DMC Lumix FZ8 and an FZ18. Both slr lookalikes but no detachable lens. Both have manual setup though with easy adjustment. I had an FZ5, but that died in the rain soaked BTCC at Brands last year. I'd just managed to get used to the camera too and the results were getting better.:(

Well you're pictures are really clear, so great job. I've got a Canon Powershot G9 that I'm still getting used to. None of my pictures made the cut however.
My boyfriend uses a Canon EOS 20D, as he's a much better photographer than me. :o

Your Powershot looks like a nice camera. Does it have any manual capabilities or do you just have auto settings.
My Panasonics have 12x (FZ8) and 18x (FZ18) optical zooms so no need really for big lenses. If I was more serious about my photography, I'd like a Canon DSLR and lenses to go with it but with two sons in tow thats too much gear to carry around and worry about.:D
Thanks for your compliments and yours are great photos too by the way.
I think I need to work on my partial head on shots. I need to find a peice of track close enough for the lenses to give dramatic enough shots though.
I went to the BSB free practice yesterday afternoon and discovered bikes are a lot harder than cars, (very quick) especially as I didn't bother with Druids as I was in search of other sections on the GP loop to try out. Found a little success to a certain degree though.

I'll pass your compliments on to my other half, he was using his new lens, so didn't quite have the settings perfect, should be better for Rockingham.
Mine does have manual set-up but I'm yet to understand how it all works. I must get some practise. It's a 6x Optical zoom, so not quite enough for BTCC!
I'll look forward to seeing the BSB shots, was you uploading those to your Flickr account? (I've added you as a contact, if you didn't mind)

I'll add the BSB once, I've sorted through the deadwood. (There's lots of it I'm afraid.
What's Rockingham like for Photos? We're hoping to be going. I've not been since Colin McRae raced in the Ascar there a few years back.

My other half mentions that to keep the fence out of the way you'll need to be near the top of the grandstand, or sit on the infield and pop the camera through the fence. Though he isn't sure on that bit.
MarcW or someone else might know as they've probably been before. It'll be my first visit.

I think if you have a good Lense on you. you can shoot through the Fence if your low down.
