I headed out for the day with my Dad for this event, chanced the showers forecast and it paid off as we only had a 20 min downpour all day, so can't complain.

I opted for the Sherwood Pines stage, quite pleased with the first lot from the tight bend, but headed deeper into the woods and struggled with harsh sunlight on one angle so had to face the opposite way for on-coming cars through the second of 2 good bends.

I shot all these using a Nikon D50, Sigma 70-300mm APO DG II, Nikon 18-70mm.

Stunning shots Dan

205's Frazer 3 or 4 in the main field and 3 in the 1400's I think.

I was running chase car for my mate Gary in the 1.4 MGZR car 222 if you got any before the fuel pump died

Good event overall and some cracking shots.

High quality pics there m8

danja

Thanks everyone for looking, glad you all like

Mark, the settings were shutter priority set at 1/320s, RAW and exposure compensation would have been widely used due to harsh sun then dark clouds so alot of messing about was required lol and my lens of choice was a Sigma 70-300mm APO DG II f4-5.6.

I will have a look, was it an orange MG Nuts?

This was the iwnner, correct?

Typical, not a very good shot by me either lol doh!

danja

Really?

I didn't know that!

Do you do the BTRDA events often?

I'm trying to go to the Rally of the Midlands this weekend...it's not a BTRDA rally, more a local car club one, they use Mallory by all accounts as one tarmac stage, could be fun

NUTS RuS

Most BTRDA ones yes.

Rally of the Midlands was ok last year I think we finished 5th o/a

33 yards over the bridge in one of the stages, cleared all but 1 photographer and took the record lol









Last years Mallory thread by Martyn to give you an idea

CheeRS buddy, was a great day out!

danja

Nuts...whats the crack with Mallory anyway?

I see they are using it for certain sections of the Rally, but can't see shit about times of cars or anything lol?

Tried ringing the circuit but all phones are busy!

I'm guessing if I went for 9am I'm sure to find something aren't I lol

What time did you run there last year? Is it an all-day thing?

Maria.

Did anyone else find beaver butchers funny?



Some bloody awesome pics there fella!

danja

Maria, I had a chuckle when I first saw it yes lol

Thanks, glad you like the shots, I have a Rally tomorrow and another next weekend in Wales, I love it

I love the Evo for some reason; last shot, like a pig in *** springs to mind lol
