A few sightings... [Updated SLR/550]

[No.1]

Here are a few of the cars i saw this weekend at Oulton Park race circuit (UK).

I didn't take many pictures, but here are the ones that turned out. My camera wasn't really up to taking pics on an overcast, but bright, day, or indeed, any of the track action :bah: We'll see how my finances go...


A perfect 550M in gorgeous TDF - definitely a rare beast in these parts - reflections were too much for my ixus to handle






An Exige - tiny!




Just a "regular" Carrera S, but with a Porsche (?) factory fit body kit






One of the new 430 GTs racing in the British GT championship. There were two, but one was being rebuilt in a very secluded/sealed off garage. The pic doesn't really show it, but the car is Rosso Scuderia - and looks great 8) - it also won the race i saw, beating a Panoz after the driver change.




Finally, an SLR belonging to one of the GT car team owners - its the same car that was in last years Gumball 3000 (it had orange vinyl decals on it then). Looked hot, but for the money there are better cars



Here are the rest of the photos - i tried my best to edit them

My first go at snapping the 430 - blame the digicam shutter lag



Gotcha!


An older 996 racer


A 360


Finally one of the nicest cars competing in a classics race - a GT350 Mustang

[EDIT - 430]

Here was a classic coloured 430 - it had the ceramic brakes too - this guy means business 8)
