Some pics from the hot hatch track day, I was only there spectating and gladly so. I go to club evenings at Knockhill to go on track and they are far better orgranised. At a hot hatch day you see contact between cars on track, people cutting up other cars into corners and basically someone was crashing every 5 / 6 laps almost !!!
A Lancia Delta Integrale went backwards into tyres going down dufus, the driver got out and flung his helmet down onto grass!
The whole mentality seemed different from the track evenings. When I went up to the circuit I was asked at the game if I was 'racing',
They try to put cones out before the corners to filter cars into a single file through corners but after a dozen or so laps the cones have been clipped and are on grass / middle of track etc!
Madness!!

Hi Leeb,
Camera is a Nikon D70 using a 300mm lens. Shutter speeds of between 1/125th & 1/250th. I find anything slower than that and I get too much camera shake.
I find you get better results by pre-focusing on the track where the car is going to be and then half pressing down the shutter button and following the car.
I take loads of photos at a trackday as I still need a lot of practice and as a result I do end up binning quite a few.
Cheers
