Looks like a fun day out. Don't think we have those kind of cars at Knockhil, however.

Great panning (easier with the sun out), cars not frozen in action (more difficult with the sun out). You know what your doing.

Also very nice positions, low or same level as the cars. Do you have press/photographer access or is this doable for the public at Brands Hatch ?

Then it is a great track !!

I had a visit to Brands Hatch in my agenda about 2 weeks ago (MGCC races), but needed to skip it due to a painfull back (actually a failing spine causing a painfull back and leg)

Most of the U.K. Circuits have pretty good photographic access if you know where the good spots are and you've got lenses that give you the reach required.

The only two circuits that don't do much for me spectator side as a tog are Silverstone and that god awful Rockingham circuit

I'm off to Knockhill, Scotland in August for the first time so hope to get some good photos of the British Touring Car Championship and support races whist there

Hope your back and leg pain go away and you can get back behind the wheel soon

P.s, should be back at Brands in October for the final rounds of the BTCC so if you fancy coming along and meeting up let me know

I'll keep that in mind.

Next month it'll be Silverstone for MG Live. And indeed as you stated, way harder to get a decent picture.
