My Arvo At The A1 GP Practise Day

[Cameron 77C3]

Well we went today to check these things out.  I'm telling ya gang ya gotta go.  These things are insane, and so dam loud.  I mean I normally don't wear ear plugs at the track, which is probably why I'm half deaf, but I had to with these things.

Anyhow, we got there after lunch towards the end of the second round of the GT championships practise.













We then made our way over to the back of the pits.  Went straight to the most important team






Where just near by I found these.  Think thay would miss one? :22








We then moved on to check out some of the other competitors.

The loan worrier and his stead






Motor pre race test run






This beast seemed all alone with no one to play with.

The pits started to come alive  as the second round of track testing was about to start.










Start Ya Bastard.......Oh Hell, we forgot the driver. :grr






That lonely car found his friends.  ;29






The boys were finally out on the track for their second test of the day


















You might find these pics of the big screen interesting






Such concentration, and he hasn't even left the pits yet.






I tell ya these things move quick and at close range, getting pics is not always that easy






But I got him in the end.  Though I wont tell how many times it took me to get it :22






We then moved back to above the pits to get some high shots as I new the boys would be pitting soon.









You got to love the camera motor drive.  I know I do













Leaving Pit Lane





Entering Pit Lane





Well it was time to go.  I'm absolutely going to put this event on my calender for next year.  If practise was like this I want to see the full show.

On the way out I had to squeeze off these two pics.  Talk about wide.





Hope you all enjoyed.  Catch ya's later.

nice pics Cam...if you dont mind me giving you some tip set ur digital camera to speed priority rather than aperture or automatic mode...look into the ISO as well (that depends on the weather i guess)

just curious how much are the tickets for the actual grand prix?

[Cameron 77C3]

Yeah I was in a hurry and forgot to do that till later in the arvo.

Have a look in our other events section HERE on the forum.  This link will take you to the thread of the event with links to their site and Ticketek.  I have posted some examples of the prices there.
