Donington Historic Festival 2012

[Matt Cup]

Spent yesterday at Donington to see the Historic Festival, the weather was great and the machinery there was out of this world! My car of the show was 212 DP, just sublime :approve:

I also spent some time trying panning shots, they aren't too great so if you have got any tips I'll gladly take them on board

ALSO... When my flickr lets me, I'll upload some of the GROUP C sportscars because they are simply f**king beasts :evil:

Great pictures. What the hell happened with car 82? Bet the owner was gutted.

Cheers

Apparently it was 3 cars involved in the crash, 1 e-type dropped oil on the track and hit the inside wall, Car 82 span on the oil and then another e-type t-boned Car 82.

The race was stopped and the guy was cut out of the wreckage. Good job the hit was on the passenger side cos I don't think he would have survived otherwise.
