Bored so I thought I'd put these up from Oulton Park on Saturday. Novice trackday and Introduction to drifting. 
 
They're not really upto much it was freezing so I was struggliing to get the shutter speed down plus I've not done any panning work since September and unfortunately it seems it's not like riding a bicycle and you do forget   
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
This one ended up coming straight at me   I took a step back just in case but it stopped well short

Well I had something typed out then and was just checking dates on the website and it seems it's made me out a liar   
 
I thought they had stuff on most weekends but now I'm not so sure. The next thing is a bike trackday but it's on Friday then there's a car trackday a week on Wednesday and most of the stuff I can seem to find is during the week   
 
I'll keep an eye on the meeting place forum on TP, there's quite a few of them that go to Oulton quite often so if anyone knows anything, they will. 
 
This is the best site to get your info from http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk 
 
Deano, Motorsport Vision cover 5 tracks one of which is Bedford Autodrome. I've just had a quick look and found >>>this<<< trackday that is on Saturday   
 
I'm not 100% if it's the same policy as Oulton with regards to free entry for spectators so you might want to check up beforehand   
 
Edit: The next Saturday track day I can see for Oulton Park is another Introduction to Drifting on the 18th April   
 
I really do hope there's stuff going on before that

They'll be gone tomorrow (today)   
 
Standard Canon 18-55mm kit lens. 
 
All my shots are with the kit lens, which people say is crap, but I don't really have any problems with it!

Great capture, The only fault I can find (only a niggle though) is the driver looking at you.

I love that snake shot Gaz! Looks great with the head in focus then blurring out down the body, spot on
