Donington GT pictures

[Trackside]

Managed to take a whole heap of photos, despite the lovely British weather doing it's best to drown me and my poor Nikon!

Race winners Tim Mullen and Chris Niarchos in the Ferrari 430



The car that should have one won; Tom Kimber-Smith and Luke Hines' LNT Panoz...



...until Hines did this whilst leading!



Simon Scuffham's ProSport



Rod Barrett's Porsche



The Vauxhall Monaro sounded superb



Air-conditioned Ferrari 360...



Lee Caroline trying to slow the Eclipse Mosler down for Redgate Corner



Unusual 'low-drag' rear wing on the Aston Martin!



2nd place a great result for the Team Tiger Marcos



Exige



3rd place for Nigel Greensall and Neil Cunningham



Loads more here

Pray tell mon amis?

Thanks for the comments, guys. Simon, what's occurring? You being forced out of BGT as well as Britcar? Or have I read it wrong? Be a shame not to see you out again in the PS 'cos it looks a damn fine car, especially in that colour scheme (although I liked the white and green too.)

So, whose toys have been thrown out of whose pram..?

Nice pictures Trackside, the ones after the Ferrari turning in on us incident would bring tears to your eyes, I've been crying since

The worst news is that we may have cooked the engine, at the very least it's a head and gasket so we are at risk of missing the next round still, we will do our best but we are kind of in the lap of the gods on getting all the repairs done in time.

I see you put Jan in charge of the painting, Rod.

Once again I have my fingers and toes crossed for a speedy recovery Rod,

And a few pics from the Dove/Lockie pits.

I was wondering where they had got to! I'm surprised all these fires in the pits (one of the Lotuses went up too) weren't extinguished with the copious amounts of rain...

It would not have been such a long shot if you'd had mentioned it before the meeting, everyone would have taken it's photo. lol I'm sure you'll get some next time now.

lol, yeah hindsight is a wonderful thing but I was uneducated in the existence of pistonheads prior to the race, it was only on Monday that I started my quest for pictures and found this site.

Before the next race I will put up a request before hand, as the heritage series runs with the GT and F3 cars a couple more times, and the ones it doesn’t we are out the same weekend as the BTCC lot. So hopefully you guys will be out again when we are.

Did n't have to be this forum, it could have been any media photographer you might have bumped into wondering around the paddock. I'm sure they would have been just as helpful. But that's hindsight again. lol It's a safe way to know someone will be out there taking some photographs for you. Good luck with your search.
