Saw this on the entry list at Brands today so knew I had to get some pictures of it. It's was a cracking car.

Didn't get much time to chat to the guys in the services but the one I did talk to said it was still a 2.3 on DTA Management and a claimed 280hp.

Super nice car Dave and great photo's :) You've really captured the atmosphere in the latter pics. What lens are you using for the further away shots?

Keep up the good work :)

Cheers Dan, I'm playing with the settings rather than relying on Auto like I used to :D

Andy, Thanks for the kind comments :) The longer shots were with a sigma 75-300, Needed a bit longer lens as we were on the bank at Clark curve, the cars were going anti-clockwise and turning out of Surtees heading up to Pilgrims drop. So a bloody long way haha.

I keep looking at 500mm lenses but they are bucks and I'd get little use from it. May just get a teleconvertor and see how I get on.
