Could have passed, but only just, so it was not worth it, better watching you throw it around the Hairpin. :damnfunny

Thanks tut, it goes well for a heavy bus.

Only just started going through the footage last night - here is a short vid of a lap with you in front, me in front and then some M3 tyre wastage at the end...(Can click the settings button to watch in 720p) Was good fun although think the session ended early which was a shame.

I have some other footage behind Ali C in the 2/11 (although this is very briefly as he clears off into the distance), some behind the 340R and various laps in the M3 out on track with other cars. Will try and get some up later.

Sounds like it was a great day.
Hopefully I'll be able to join you all again next spring.

I've just uploaded some of mine to facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 068&type=1

I got home at 4am on Monday morning, and when I switched on my computer a few hours later to work on the photos the motherboard on my PC had died :(

Rushed around getting some bits to build a new PC, which I got working (mostly) this morning.

What length of lens do you find works best around Knockhill John and have you an extender in use too?

Most of the time I'll use my 300mm prime lens with a 1.4 extender for some shots at Duffus and The exit of Clarks and a 70-200 at other times. This is on a full frame body. 100-400 is a great versatile lens around Knockhill, but it isn't waterproof ;-)

I've uploaded them to my website. Please note this is only a selection of photos, so chances are I will have one or two more of each car.

Absolutely no problem at all - either send me an email or FB message, or you can purchase direct from the website :)

Lowering the tyre pressures helped a lot. Not the worst road tyre I have ever had but certainly not A048s!

Going by the sizing there's more to it than that. Plus the wets aren't road legal
