I was so happy to see John walk away from this, well done to the doctor's and Marshalls.

Good shots, I have to say seeing that made my heart go into my Mouth.

Good thing he is ok, and apparently is laughing about it now..

[Beemer Fan]

Ouch! Once again it proves not just the excellent saftey of the cars and the HANS equipement, but also the brilliant work that is carried out by the Marshalls and doctors at every track the BTCC goes to. Hopefully George will be back in the BTCC for next year. That car looks like a right off from what i've seen.

[Sparkz]

Brands Hatch has supposedly got the best marshalls and stewards in the world :confused:
(Thats what was said during one of the support races yesterday)

[motorsportgirli]

I think they should have said the UK has the best marshals :rolleyes:

Hello everyone,

We sat on the South Bank for the first time in 10 years.

Great viewing point from a spectator's point of view, but I don't think it makes for great photography unless you're using a professional camera setup.

Several Pics from Sunday Here.

Was just annoyed it took me a few moments to put my camera to my eyes when George crashed. I had to pick my jaw off the floor first before I could take the pics.

When I have attened as media, I often stand in that very spot!!
It looks like he had quite a long lens on the camera, so I think he wont have captured much of the impact as he was too close.

I was standing where the barriers were flattened until about 5 minutes before when something made me decide to move!

i know there some great places at brands for pics

we were in the grandstand on the start/finish straight thanks to honda
so we watched the first few from there then could not be bothered to move after that so stayed there all day :D

i have started to do them though i'm still going through them i'm gutted that the ones of gio fire in the garages did come out at all :mad:

Yeah but if you want to see decent racing you dont sit there, so either you sacrifice a good view of the racing for some nice photos or sacrifice some good photos for a brilliant view of the racing? I just move around on the saturday and take images from all around, where the fences arent in the way and then sit in one place and watch the action on the sunday. I mean after all, if your not a professional photographer, the reason your at the event is to watch the races, not take photos.

This is what we do, however I feel Gaz might be on the wander next season, if he gets his own way. :rolleyes: At least I'll have people to keep me company...

Hey guys,

Something to cheer you up:

Kerry and Gareth's Finale Pictures (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kezbabybabe/sets/72157607763739938/)

Photos are online from Brands Hatch weekend. Sorry they took so long, but at least you'll be welcome of the distraction from you know who!

Thanks to Jo (Mad Mat Jackson Fan) for the loan of her camera when I forgot the memory to mine! (no pun intended) She was a life saver.

[CharlieJ]

Nice to see the view of the grid from the other side of the fence Kerry.

[kezbabybabe]

Nice to see the view of the grid from the other side of the fence Kerry.
No problem, I was shocked at the amount of camber there was, hopefully the photos reflect that.

[tankman40]

Hi Kerry
Nice pictures there mate !!as charlie said nice to see the grid from the other side of the fence.

Know what you mean about the camber,when we walked over the track for the pit walkabout i was surprised too.:)

Hi Kerry

It's a steep old camber at Brands - That's why you see so many cars sliding towards the pit wall at the start when the get wheelspin.

I think a few cars have actually nudged the wall on race strats before.

It'll also be nice to try and get a photo that shows that fall after Paddock Hill bend into the dip, to show how much the track falls away, and with the steepness of it too.

On telly, it looks steep, but when you are stood at paddock, it's unbelievable. As Charlie Cox kept saying, it's like jumping of the north face of ther Eiger

Hi mate

i had a quick look at paddock hill bend when i was walking across the track it looks scarey on foot let alone going into the braking point in a car at 100mph !!:)

They make Paddock Hill bend look like a huge tarmac wave which is just about to 'wipe out' poor Matt...

Hey Pete,

Yeah Gaz has cropped these for the print outs. I had uploaded them as they were originally.

He's also got the dust thing under control too. ;)

Not too shabby for it's first time taking touring car photos. :)

Tell me more about how you shot it.

You want to try running down it and up the hill to Druids with a 4 yr old riding piggyback on your shoulders.:D (Some of us will do anything to get those precious BTCC driver autographs).
