Lovely pics Jeff. Something I've yet to try. Love the pics of the cars on two wheels.

Some cracking photos there, nice flag girl.

I was watching this on the telly but I crashed out.
I remember one of the MG's spun off at the hairpin I think. It was towed away with a Disco under the safety car.

When I surfaced it was a completely different programme on

Did you get freedom to move around different areas of the circuit and take pictures? Were they OK with this? I have the urge to go and take some motor sport pictures, now!

Hi Rav,

So long as you stay the other side of the safety fences you are free to roam, including the paddock and pit areas at certain times

This is pretty much the same at all motor sport tracks but Knockhill is good as the track is small and you are very close to the action at nearly all the corners and straights........All my photos were taken with just my 70-200 lens with occasional use of a 2x Teleconverter for a few of the shots

Why not try one of the more grass roots events that are hosted at Knockhill, far less crowds, cheap entry fee and a good introduction to Motor Sport photography.

Plus your very lucky as its only a few miles up the road from yours

I'm so impressed with Knockhill I think it might have usurped Brands Hatch as my favourite UK race track

Thanks for sharing.
I like the Levorg

It reminds me of when TWR were running the Volvo Estate cars back in the Super Touring era........speaking of classic touring cars

This made a guest appearance at Knockhill as well

The action in the pits and on the track is exciting to see, you keep getting it right Jeff - keep them coming

Cheers guys,

I can thoroughly recommend a visit to Knockhill, got to be one of the best spectator circuits I've ever been too
