A few from Donington Park this weekend (56k no no)

Taken with my new 70-300 IS USM lens this weekend (before the bad weather hit)

I was at redgate corner so I could pan from redgate round towards hollywood. It's the closest part of the track for photos without fences being in the way.

Yes, 91 is Leon Haslam.

last time i went to donnington It was well hot for the gp!!! Was at the bottom of craners

Bet you got a little cold and wet!

They dont hang about round redgate do they

Craners down to the old hairpin and up to starkeys are good places to watch, but not great for frame filling photos with a 300mm lens (although I didnt get to take photos at craners this weekend due to the weather so I may be a little out on that statement)

Speaking of weather... I got absolutely soaked, even with all the layers I was wearing, and my hands and face felt like ice. Still enjoyed it though

Redgate is great but you need to be on the ball with your panning - especially with the faster bikes and riders

Yep, there aren't many places you can't get to at Donny. There are certain places reserved for the press but for the most part you can get trackside just about anywhere.

There was certainly a large amount of very expensive L glass at the weekend, not all of it was the pro's either.
