Excellent shots, soo clear. Do you have anymore stashed ?

[GetCarter]

Great pic of our Nige. You either had a press pass or got there bloody early!

[SpydieNut]

great pics - *so* clear

i have to ask ( )what kit did you get those with?

[simon_j]

No press pass I just have a few good spots on the pit lane. I should have got up earlier considering the number of people there this year!

It's a Canon 400d with a Sigma 70-200 2.8, nothing special but good enough for me.

A few more :-

How did you get Pit side? We had passes for both sides on Friday but the pits were heavily restricted - even at 7am when we tried to get in.

Same as, only seemed to have the option of sitting around the outside, and on sat/sun even that was restricted to the cheap seats

Byker28i, Altrezia - If you remember the entrance to the F1 paddock, to the left of it you've got a small carpark. On the left of the carpark are the BDRC / Brooklands buildings and a row of smaller buildings running along the bottom edge. These are on the pit lane and just have a metal railing (waist height) between you and the pit lane road on the ground floor. There is no catch fencing on those higher up in the pitlane but there is further down towards Woodcote corner. The higher up the pitlane the better the view (IMHO).

I'll have to remember that for next time!

Anyway, forgot to say in my other post, wonderful photos.

Nice - I was there on Friday and was disappointed on how the inside circuit was all hospitality. I have to remember that tip for next time
