Some fine work there, George, which rather disproves my theory that Silverstone is completely hopeless for photos.

Love #10... and #5 is a very rare shot of Jason Plato not hitting someone...

A nice set of pictures George. I still have to go through mine properly, as soon as I can get an evening in!
It was a pleasure to meet you and Mike as well, and thanks to Mike for his hospitality over the weekend.

What a great set - love 9 (is that Tim Harvey in a relaxed moment or just a look-a-like?) & 10; also 13 (although I probably shouldn't!)

It's not just the action shots that are good. I like the ones that generate "atmosphere"

Excellent set George. All good. Especially like 2, 10 and 13. And there is something very nice about No11, i just can't put my finger on what it is. But there is definitely something in the picture that appeals.

There's a captioning error in #11: that looks nothing like Matt Neal...

I was trying to get a shot like 10 and this was the only one where the cars fell into place, quite a few deletions. One of the few shots that is better from the stands than in front of the fence due to the raised position.

Plato was reasonably well behaved on the track, there was a bit of agro between Neal and Tordoff in the last race with Neal 'allegedly' forcing Tordoff off.

Must be a look-a-like, these were the Dunlop tyre fitters having a break. No 13 is just energy drink samples being handed out.
