I should add to this post that provided I can make it, and I really think I should be able to, I will certainly bring a camera, so when I`m not on track myself I can get some shots of you other folks hooning around for your visual gratification!

LOL No one can say not enough notice... laugh

Pictures would be great..... Not forgetting there could be some really nice old Astons coming as well, as this is being organised by myself and Tim Butcher from the AMOC....

Would be really great to have a good mixture.....

Fantastic result thumbup

Right then, come on all you GT8 (and GT12) owners, get yourselves signed up to give your car this rare opportunity to stretch its legs (and lungs)!
Good luck with that.. I never got out of third gear last time. Just abut reached 120 on the straight before turning in to corner 1.

Out of interest I arranged a professional automotive photographer for the 1st Rockingham track day. He took some superb shots and positioned himself around the track to get different angles. He put all of the photos in to a dropbox (Full Pixel Size and Web-Size) and I distributed the Dropbox password to all of the attendees.

I don't have his details but Bob may have them or I may have put something on the original thread. I think he was around 300 quid for the day.

My strongest advice is that if you live more than 2 hours drive away from Rockingham 'Stay the night in a local Hotel'. It is a long day with plenty of track time and you will not believe how tired you will be at the end of it.

That's a good couple of points there.... The photos from the Rockingham day I went to were amazing. Will have to look back at the old thread.. Also good to get there the night before, hotel is like 2 mins away can all have some drinks and some food..

I stayed another night last time as was too knackered to drive home biglaugh

I have contacted Dom, the photographer and this was his response......

Hi Paul

Hope your well, happy to come along I’ll pencil the date in the diary now for you.

Regarding costs how does £35 per person sound, I believe going from memory that’s what we did last time . I’ll process the images put everything on a download link and you can send it round to all the drivers assuming people do at least a couple of laps every one should get a decent selection of images .

Let me know your thoughts

This could be great for people who want pro shots of their cars that they can pay for and thus depend on.

Personally I don't need any more pics of her (out of wallspace already biggrin ) and, as I will be doing only limited laps, I'll be filling in the time with my pro kit too for a few snaps. In fact I may bring some TV camera/sound kit with me and capture some noisy fly-bys with proper bassy non distorted audio smile
