MotorSport in the Wouth West

[KelVXT]

Ive recently started to get into photography and want to combine my two passions cars and cameras.

Looking to get some practice in before Le Mans this year and Ive no idea where to find info on motorsport in the South West - I don't mind what kind it is really!

Anyone got any advice?

Cheers

Sorry meant South West in the title not Wouth West!

Beaten to it on Castle Combe but there's also these...all pretty local and easy to get "up close and personal" with the action

Prescott Hill Climb - http://www.prescott-hillclimb.com/
Bristol Motor Club - http://www.bristolmc.org.uk/
Weston Motor Club - http://www.weston-super-maremotorclub.com/

Or you could make friends with some of the motorsprt guys in SW and see if you can tag along...try these guys

If you are at Combe this weekend, you couldl take some pics of me in this!

[KelVXT]

thanks for all of the replies - Im now spoilt for choice this weekend - Coombe which is much closer or Prescott as its a championship round - decisions decisions!

try the aswmc for a calendar of events, should be loads of stuff form sporting trials to sealed surface rallies and plenty of opportunity to get some good pictures...

Gurston hillclimb is but a short drive away from you, near Salisbury.

Next meet at the end of May I think.

What camera brand are you using?

[KelVXT]

thanks for that - I'm using Nikon but it seems like most people I come across are using Canon so no sharing of lenses ;-(

Whats your brand of choice?

[V8S]

Canon - if we met up at Castle Combe or somewhere I was going to suggest lending you one of my lenses for a bit.

But you're a dirty Nikon user.

What can I say - its penance for being very very bad in a previous life I think ...
