    Corvette's had a demo - didn't catch them all, most of them were busy understeering off into the gravel













    Then some weird single seater things - no idea what these were:







    This one didn't make it very far before breaking down

    And then onto Le Mans 'proper' - GT Pro cars first:







    And the proper Le Mans cars

    Lastly - I tried some night shots. Quite pleased with the results really, bearing in mind this is dead of night with no flash guns whatsoever, just relying on ambient light. Settings were a low F number and a very slow shutter speed so there was hell to pay trying to stop the camera shake, but I did manage to get some. Albeit they're a bit granular given ISO1600 to get anywhere near enough exposure.























    Hope you enjoy

    Haven't emptied my phone yet, and my proper camera died halfway through the weekend but I can tell you now there's probably nothing that will come close to those... need a new camera I think...

    Nice set Arry

    Will go through mine at some point and get them up - didn't go to well this year though, stands were OK, but fences were a pain most places. Then I managed to break the lens mount on my 55-250 IS, time to upgrade I reckon!!

    Good weekend though

    You should have said you were down mate. Did you take the 5?

    I know mate, thought I might bump into a few from here - but don't remember seeing any SXOC guys. Noticed a few driftworks guys on the Ferry on the way home, but the drive down was nothing like when I went a couple of years ago. Gendarme seemed to have put a few off. We ended up blasting through some tiny back roads to have a bit of fun without too much risk of getting our pants pulled down!!

    Didn't take the '5, was a passenger in a mates Scooby. Yours run OK, did you bother taking the belt off?

    And now I've seen that picture of Doc I'm wondering if I saw him in the early hours, either that or he has a double!!
