[QUOTE=Riad;8436720]Took a drive over to Oulton on Wednesday as it is the start of testing season, naith mentioned there might be a certain Martin Brundle there getting some miles in ready for his assault on LMP2 at lemans this year.

Little bit we know he had the track to himself!

Ive not picked my gear up for nigh on three months due to uni presentations and being a poorly bear so I was back in at the deep end.

Im happy with some shots, my panning is off and didn't have much time to setup but hey ho. it was actually 0deg too so that wasn't too pleasant.

As for MB well he was meant to be flying in in his chopper but had to use the jaggggggg and what a jag it was, his lad alex was there and an older chap who i think was a boss at radical. Basically two race cars and a road SR3 to use at their disposal. Martin himself was a gent, whilst being there to work he took time to speak to the two elderly couples, naith alex and me on various occasions.

Had some banter with his lad too about lemans and the trouble we cause wink told him if he does a Mansell he's more than happy to join us for a beer on the campsite!

Listening to martin was brilliant (alex too) his knowledge about the car and his inputs was like nothing you hear. due to like 8 people (9 including their media man) there it meant you could stand in their garage and actually listen to his knowledge and years of race-craft pour out, was brilliant.

Fantastic photos there! Didn't think you could quite get that much access at testing. I stopped off at Donington once. Didn't get great access but spotted a 250 GTO going round. No camera to hand unfortunately. Bet it was great speaking to someone like Brundle.
