Thanks all for the comments.

An enjoyable day out, even the kids enjoyed it ! (weather helps)

A very fine set Simon, wouldn't want to pick a favourite from these.

No 2 Commitment does make me smile, I was impressed with the number of drivers who were at the limit of their car / ability with numerous cars sliding wide around the corners. A very enjoyable day.

If there was to be a PU outing to a racetrack then I would be keen subject to family commitments not getting in the way.

Should have added this one as it was my best attempt at a slow shutter speed 1/30th whilst panning. (generally use 1/125 - 1/250 depending on speed and position)

No 25

Had a great day at Oulton Park at the weekend watching the the VSCC race meeting. Would highly recommend it.

Took loads of pictures, despite deleting a lot (experimenting with panning to see how low a shutter speed I could get) I still have a couple of hundred shots that I like so its was a bit of a task to narrow it down to a selection to post here.

It was also good to see Simon Arron briefly as well.

All taken with K3 + Sigma 100-300F4 and K5iis + Pentax DA17-70 f4 which seems to be my standard motorsport kit although the sigma 50-150 would have been nice at times.

As promised a few more from Silverstone taken from Friday to Sunday. These are mostly car shots of which I have a rather large selection to choose from (must delete more) Having been to Silverstone a number of years now it becomes harder to capture something original as the backdrops are not always the most photogenic.

Thanks for the comments

At first I saw Jacques Villeneuve from behind and didn't recognise him as he was leaving then people started to ask for his autograph and there was a debate as to who it was until he turned round.

Nice varied set Simon, echo the comments above re No 6. I also like the F1 Paddock with no one about showing the calm before the day begins.

No 7 from Oulton park did make me smile.
