SMRC Testing - 2nd March 08

[flat-planedCrank]

Hi,


Some pics from the SMRC testing session at Knockhill today.

I'd never been to a SMRC test before so didn't quite know what to expect It turned out to have a great selection of cars, from single seater's to an awesome f430 GT3

Cracking pictures as usual. Was going to head up to Knockhill today but got caught up with some other stuff. Looks like some of the British GT teams were up testing for the round in April.

The same Ferrari at the Oulton Park round last year

It is a G50. They will also be racing at Knockhill in April as they are on the support package of the British GT

Panning shots are cool, i likethe angle you have picked for your detail shots, the F430 front end is cool, something about that one i like. Picking out things like the logo on the glass, nice idea.

Ah yes, that's a Bristol Fighter i think ?

I'd love to see one, they are gloriously unique No idea how many there are in existence really...
IIRC they are still sold from that one place in Kensington High Street, London.

Thanks. Hopefully i'll get some racing shots next month

I had a quick chat to one driver (Phil Burton i believe) about driving the F430 round Knockhill, sounds like it will make for some exciting racing !



The F430 GT3 is a pleasure to photograph, plus an awesome noise that almost makes you forget the weather



All the best,


Cheers.
