I'll be wearing my unmissable tshirt.

I'll be there sometime after 10. Not a clue where to meet tbh. I don't really know the place that well.
 
Well I've just got back, I may have a couple of pictures but only from my phone. Hopefully someone has taken some pics of the Megane race, really liked that one, and the sound of those v6s :eek:.



I was mainly by Schwantz Curve, you could get a good view of half the circuit, although when the Formula cars were out we were by Starkeys Straight, amazingly loud and fast things.

edit: they kept mentioning TV cameras, did anyone catch which channel it was / will be on? Also, how low were those planes coming over!

I got back not so long ago too. One of the best days out I've had in a while.. great weather too!

I saw someone with a pocket tv watching what seemed to be the races though I didn't ask him what he was actually watching (could have been the corry omnibus for all I know).

It was the first time witnessing an F1 car in motion and dang, those things are crazy! I've been a closet F1 fan for a lil while and I'm sure I'll try to attend an F1 race whenever there's another close by.

I took a lot of photos also. Below is one of the F1 car.

A couple from the Megane race:

Unfortunately, I only took my 'all purpose' lens (Sigma 18-200mm) and this was pretty much the only part of the track I could get close enough to get a few decent shots. Also, please excuse the messy/quick processing.

I was there as well. Spent most of the time playing with a circ polariser which gave me some great colours but also a big increase in noise :confused:

This well did come out well though....

With some many other people taking photos I decided to try to find something different and noticed an driver on the tyre wall next to his car. I thought a picture with him sat there and a car blurred behind him would be a good contrast....

Ah! So it seems. I was the one starting to get sunburnt on one side of this face wearing a black cap :p

Did you see a guy in a straw hat? That would have been me :D

Next time I go out on a sunny day with the camera I'm going to soak the neck strap in suntan cream

Where you sitting on a fold up seat at the end of the stone "steps"? I guessing not as the person wasn't wearing that very loud T-Shirt!

I ended up turning my cap around so the peak covered my neck :D
