Its the GP circuit so there are better opportunities around the back of the circuit...I'll be there saturday and sunday with my camera as well(mainly round the back of the circuit)

Okay cool,

Looking forward to this weekend...although I seriously doubt that my pics will be anywhere near the calibre of the pic below...(Pic nicked off another forum)

Just seen on www.crash.net (http://www.crash.net) that it looks like the racing might be canned due to snow! Hope not for the sake of all yo who have made the trip.

It was definatly cancelled !!!
We woke up to nearly 2 foot of snow outside the tent :smt009 on race day !!!
Waited around for an announcment and found out by watching Eurosport WSB in the Bar !!!
Qualifying was great Shaky is going to kick some ass this year and Leon did not do to bad considering he has had hardly any testing on the Honda!!
Managed to pack the tent and stuff in the non stop snow and set off back up to Yorkshire it took us 5 bloody hours !! We had Rain, snow, hail, wind sunshine ..... the whole range of weather !!!
Was a bit cold by the time we got home ;)
Will be back down on the 11th though its only snow after all :smt030

Well, the rescheduled weekend is upon us...
I'll be down there on saturday and sunday again as with the original weekend.

I suppose all the fairweather racegoers will be there as well with the temperatures for saturday and sunday being forecast in the low to mid 20's.

Anyone else going to be there at all?

Druids is a bad idea on raceday unless you get there early and stay there all day. With it being on the long circuit there are plenty more better opportunities for good photos with shorter lenses around the back of the circuit. Hawthorns, top of pilgrims, top of dingle dell and the entry to stirlings are good.

I'll keep an eye out for you. With the forecast being for warm and dry weather it should be good racing!

Cool! I'll be wearing shorts (khaki knee length ones) while I wander about, alpinestars boots on, alpinestars jacket, GSXR T-shirt.

I should be able to squeeze in somewhere at druids, but I'm definatly gonna get round to sheene curve and to hawthorn; those places are great for pictures

Its gonna be waaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmm

Yep, I'll be wearing shorts as well...not too sure about the colour yet but I'll be wearing my brown leather hat and carrying a camera with a great big 500mm lens...
