You wait an eternity for one Cadwell Park thread to materialise... and then two turn up within a fortnight. Sorry about the shameless repetition, but it is a particularly charming racetrack. I was due to cover the Nürburgring 24 Hours last weekend, but circumstance obliged me to cry off at the last minute and I ended up heading for Lincolnshire rather than the Eifel Mountains. Herewith a sprinkling of consequences, all taken with K-5 IIs and Sigma 100-300mm f4 unless otherwise stated.

Really good those Simon. Love that old Volvo..from the rear it looks a bit like the Saab 95 my family used to have...built like a tank...I got to drive it soon after passing my test...felt as safe as houses.

I think my favourite 'action' shot is the Cortina '207 FOO' (No....tack sharp as well.

A great set Simon. Lovely sharp shots from great angles.
Was at a classic day over here at the weekend
So I have an idea as to how difficult it can be to get really crisp shots.
These are super.

If you get a chance to have a look I wouldn't mind some cc on mine
