Right, here's some more photos of exactly the same cars then.

Yeah, The best flame shot I got were not from the car I actually was hoping for.





It was still wonderful to see (and hear) the dominant Sauber Mercedes though.



I was imagining this guy scoffing little sweets as he drove round.



On to the Pre-'61 Sports Jobs for the Stirling Moss trophy for not quite winning top prize.

Well-Ard







Incorrect direction of travel.



The Lister Jaguar #60 was streets ahead of everyone else, so smooth.



After lunch, pre-war cars from the fairly rubbish vantage point of the start line grandstand. Was ace at the start though, the noise & smell!



Donington best for not driving 24 hours to see racing Bugattis actually racing.







This is an ERA I think. They generally win everything in very old car racing.



The end (of that race)



So to the tin-tops, sadly cut short as already mentioned. Racing was superb to watch up until that point.







This Falcon was the dominant car this time.





BMW did a sterling job of mixing it with the V8s though.



I think was my favourite livery.







I think this Mustang was being piloted by Whizzo Williams at this point.



And so we end with the plane shot.



My first time watching racing at Donington and it was top notch. Easy to get to, easy to get out from even though everyone left at once, excellent facilities, viewing and photographic possibilites. Recommended ****

This:

had to be the most determined guy there, as his Mini appeared to be on fewer than 4 wheels for a very large proportion of the time. Even in the long sweeping curve where we were stationed he had the back wheel cocked, pretty much every lap, as captured by SethSan.
