Hi Claire,

Hoping you could tell us who was coming ! ;o) Hopefully the entry list and timetable will be available soon ?

Fingers-crossed the BMWGTR will be there and depending on how the testing goes I've my fingers-crossed that I'll get my first race in it, with Dad driving also, as usual.

And can you confirm that the 2008 regs are definitely being applied to this race meeting ?

Cheers,
Matt.

Looks like a pretty good entry. I just hope I don't loose anything in the dark this time, lost a pair of glasses and a camera Eyecup at the 24 hours! (Although the glasses did turn up a while later looking a bit flattened!)

I really enjoyed that! A cracking race, especially early on when the Viper, Marcoses, Ferrari and BMW were all within a gnat's of each other for the lead. As Brian Jones said on the commentary, it was more like a 10 lap sprint at the start! Great stuff!

I took a few photos too that you can see here.

Roll on 2008!

[Chris Patey]

Brilliant Pictures, the viper looks really good in the dark, that Z3 had some serious flame!

i'm amazed the z3 didn't actually catch on fire - it had serious flames just about every other lap! i got a few pics of it too, not as sharp as tracks' though.

trackside, what lens were you using? i found even my f1.8 was a bit tricky by the time it was dark, looks like you set up the flash just right.

anyway, really enjoyed it, even my gf had a great time despite the cold! (hopefully enough to persuade her that a 24hr race is a good thing!)

Hi Trackside

Nice pics and a very enjoyable race.

Could you pm me with details of how I can get some pics of our viper in the dark?

Thanks
Archibold

[Marc W]

Nice pics trackside, your flash is obviously a lot better than mine!

Here's my efforts, including some more of the Viper in the dark!
