now that jeremy has mentioned it I feel its time to release some extra 'bonus' pics.

He was feeling melancholic about his old gaffer tape trim mod so went for the classic headlight gaffer tape solution. After his incident involving no brakes and a tyre wall. It was exactly the same place I had mine but I guess thats not surprising, its at the end of the long straight before the hairpin :)

A late night anglo-german union to model the latest fashion. If you look carefully to the right you can see the keg that inspired the idea of a photo lmao lmao

Still sifting through all the photos, have narrowed down just over 100 so far. Will probably split them into two pages; one just of the cars on show and one of all the track pics.

Here's one more to enjoy til they all come along:

Matt - it was all about timing, timing and timing (oh, and lighting!). The car was a 2.3-16 Turbo and I saw the flame spit on the previous lap after he had changed gear and let off the throttle. The car was slowing a bit so I knew this was going to be his last lap and my only chance to get this picture. I saw where the last flame came out at and compared it to where other cars were changing gear, so i positioned myself at roughly the same spot (risked life to get the right shot, but it's all part of it!) which was on the outside of Turn 6 and made sure I had the right shutter speed and aperture. I had the car in my sight and thankfully he was still changing gear in the right places and not short-shifting or anything like that. He goes round turn 6, hits the throttle, I start to pan + focus continuously with the car and as he changes gear, flame spits out the exhaust in a split-second and I hit the shutter to take the shot with it resulting in this:

Hope that helps!

Cheers! Can you remember what shutter speed and aperture you used? Oh and what sort of equipment do you use, if you don't mind me asking?
