The SEMSEC meeting at Brands was practically deserted. Everyone was either at Lydden or at the Runlate World Series at Donington, or the Britcar 24hours at Silverstone

Nice BMW

Andy Woolley - Reynard 903 being chased by my brother and the fastest car in the field, a March F2 car with about 100bhp more than everyone else.

David and Goliath. This MG is not being lapped, its racing for position at the sharp end of the field.

Honda CRX Silhouette. The only thing Honda is the badge on the front. Spaceframe chassis with mid mounted Ford engine

Brace of Ferraris

This was the last time they came round like this. On the next lap, the lead Ferrari was boxed in by a backmarker, pulled out, hit his team mate and went into the armco at the end of the pitlane, ripping it out and ending all racing for the afternoon. 3 races cancelled much to their annoyance.

Ta.

This was the first race meeting where I actually had a plan of what I wanted. Coming back to a circuit gives you ideas.

I wanted to use qualifying to take pictures through the TV flap on Clarke Curve and also for the exit of McLaren. I wanted to use race 1 to catch the grid swarming down Paddock Hill Bend, and then I could cross over the bridge onto the infield of Druids.

Race 2 was going to be experiemental, trying different things to be different, but it was cancelled.

Local paper published one of my photos in todays evening paper.
