Audi/VW Track day pics. 56K? Go and lie down!

Dropped into a VA/Audi meet yesterday, which was nice. Some right old boy racers ranting thier repsective motors around the track and some of these cars shifted. Good fun. Did the shoot with a mate called Pez who is a petrol head and who by five olclock got pretty tired of me asking him what each and every motor was. In fact he had to keep reminding me that it was a VW/Audi meet as I am sure I saw a Lada zip on by at a fair old lick.

Needless to say they would not let me take my Tigra on the track which is a shame as I could have offered someone a cheap haircut

Nice shots Pete, I was going to post a few pics from a track day I went to last week a Cadwell Park, but don't think I'll bother now.

Where were they taken Castle Coombe?

Yeah, Castle Coombe, just 45 minutes up the road and a pleasant way to amble away a Saturday
