I have just received some great photos from the last couple of PCGB track days I have been on. Is anyone else getting the photos? If you are not sure, you should buy some - and be the envy of all your friends [:D]

Please share your photos. I will post a couple to get the ball rolling (will have to resize first).

Its a DV Camera on the bar behind the seats.

Next shot is from the the horribly wet day at Silverstone. It was even darker and wetter than it looks in the picture. On my PZeroCs it was a case of aquaplaning at the front at about 95mph in a straight line - tyres just started skipping around a bit. My road tyres, while treaded, have little tread in the rear (how could that possibly be [:D]) and were not really much better - they gave me lots of snap oversteer and wheelspin. One such wheelspin in a straight line in fourth gear incident snapped the car into a nice flat spin. About 6 or 7 rotations, on to the grass and very nearly into the wall. I believe I saved the day by coming off the brakes and getting the tyres turning after about rotation 4, then when I thought it was all over and I was going to nudge the wall, I grabbed first gear and accelerated as soon as the nose was pointing away from the wall, just enough to change the trajectory of the spin. Certainly got my attention and helped in the decision to go home after lunch.

Richard,
Any idea who to contact for the photos ? The photographer was standing right by the hairpin at Bedford the other week as I had a very sideways moment - I' d love to know if he got a shot of it.
 
John Gaisford is the photographer.

The proofs will automatically come toyou from PCGB fairly soon.

Wow! great pics richard, I am keen to see if they got my car too, although I doubt I will be displaying so much lean out of corners [;)]

Jamie, lets see yours too when they come (if??).
 
Hugh / Richard,
Got my proofs through at the weekend - some really got shots (all rather similar !). I think I'll buy a couple and see if I can get someone clever to post them up here - problems with office firewalls etc

Jamie
 
yes, got mine through today as well, a couple look pretty good, so will order some and post them up.
