Elises at Brands 8th March

[917K]

I took the day off work on Monday and decided to go out on my first dedicated photographic trip of the year. In the morning I went to the disused station at Folkestone Harbour ([URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomdauben/sets/72157623456075487/"]flickr set here[/URL]) then in the afternoon I went to Brands Hatch to try and get some shots of the grandstands whilst they were empty. That idea went out of the window when I arrived and noticed there were several elises, a Nissan GTR and a Ferrari 360 spyder on a track day!

Here are my pick of the images, I took loads more but these are my faves.

It was nice to get to Brands on a quiet day and get to all the parts of the circuit I've not tried before, I'll be going to another track day and doing this again in the not too distant future!

5 I think this one has a REAL sense of speed, greater than any other images I've taken before.


Some of them aren't pin sharp but then I am using an Olympus E500 with the 45-150 kit lens, I'm REALLY looking forward to visiting Brands when I get a Canon 7D!

Great photos Tom!
I was in the White 'Force23' S2 with the green side stripes.

Cheers,
Simon

Wow, they are nice photos Tom!

If you have any of my car, Titanium S1 with flowers(!!), I'd like to see them!

Cheers

Thanks both of you. Paul, sadly I don't seem to have any shots of your car, I don't remember seeing it running when I was there, the only grey elise other than the one in my shot in this thread has gold wheels but doesn't appear to have any flowers on it.

Simon, if you want any photos of the Force 23 elise please let me know, I have several of it and may be able to sort you out a desktop or something.

I'm taking photos for a Caterham team soon, if anyone fancies some shots being done please get in touch and I will see if I can oblige.

Tom.
