Sorry I did not take many pics of the F1 cars on the track, but my Canon powershot S70 is not very good for fast moving cars - slow shutter lag....excuses, excuses :brickwall

These are mine, as normal critique is welcome, don't think these are bad for my first attempt at msport pics.

I must invest in a doubler or a longer lens if I'm gonna do this more often.

To be 100% correct, it's actually a DB2/4.... the '2' didn't ahev the hatch type rear access...... it had a slot for the spare wheel to be slid into......

How I got the Autosport invited guest pass was because I subscribe to Autosport magazine and about a month ago in the front of the mag was a letter for a competition to go to the F1 Test. All I had to do was to answer a simple question state what day I wanted to go on I chose Wednesday and sent the answer off in the post and forgot about it. Then two weeks ago I got a letter in the post from Autosport saying that I was going on my chosen day. :luxhello:
