Sun Motorfair - Knockhill

[bernie_eccle]

Here are one or two from today. I have been to a few F1, CART and IRL races, but it was sureal to see a contemporary F1 car blatting around the local circuit. Nathan Kinch was driving and set a lap record of 42.5 secs.

Hi to the guy standing next to me with the Nikon D200. Looked a lovely piece of kit

. . . ptetty sure it was a 41.5 . . . 112mph ave . . . worth the entry cost for the f1 car imho . . . 16.5 seconds per lap faster than my best ;-) . . . albeit with 0.5mil less budget ;-) - other than that who wants to look at ultratedious road cars . . . every blue rinser in the country drives one - eg the whole paddock . . . like the pics tho . . . i didn't take a single pic . . . you back in an elise ?

I think you are right. The times were reducing every lap. Great to see and I just love the noise.

Yeah, bought my old car back about a month ago. I did see you on Wednesday night at KH. I was around the back of the circuit taking pics when the session was red flagged

[fergusd]

Stand down Weston-super-Mare sea-front and you can take two million shots a night like this:

What gear did you use to take the snaps?

It's a Nikon D70 with a Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G lens.
