Well, it seems Christmas has come early for me this year!
A couple of months ago, I uploaded some of my pictures from my day watching the British Touring Car Championship @ Brands Hatch onto the HiQ website.
I was more than happy to receive an e-mail yesterday afternoon telling me that one of the images had won a competition to win a new camera!

Here is some of what they had to say about the photo:
"The HiQ fast fit network received hundreds of entries from devoted fans, with a host of images capturing their favourite driver's trials and tribulations around the track.
But there was one shot that stood out to HiQ, which the brand believes conveys all the excitement and anticipation of a day watching one of the world's best motorsport events.
HiQ retail marketing manager Geraldine McGovern said: "We had hundreds of entries to choose from and while the decision was extremely tough, we couldn't see any other winner apart from Phil's once we'd looked through each entry closely.
"We wanted a photo that captured the spirit of the British Touring Car Championship and that is exactly what Phil managed with this shot."

There should be an article up on the Official BTCC website soon as well, so keep your eyes peeled!
BTCC :: Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship
Here is the winning shot:

Well chuffed!
I have no idea what camera it is yet, they just said it is worth £500, will let you know once I receive it! (Hopefully Nikon as that will go with the rest of my gear, but I won't be complaining either way!)
