The first two are definitely cool. Guess that partly explains the empty grandstands!

#2 is lovely...I love that track and the area.

We always rent a cottage up the hills nr Macastre for MotoGP (as we will be doing again this year).

Funny.... my browser for some reason loads from the bottom up. I see the last few pictures and think to myself, "whoa... who's sh*t is this (sh*t in the same venacular as REALLY good drugs)... low and behold... David Lister in-da-house. In the words of Randy Jackson... YOU rawk da house, dawg!!!!

Very nice.

Ah,, thanks.. but 'tis but a cheap trick..

I learned my trade selling snake oil and playing "spot the lady" on street corners..

(Actually, working with Brooksie can amount to the same thing.. sometimes..)..

Mr Thawley.. As Oddball (Donald Sutherland, Kelly's Heroes) might say.. Woof woof woof... Jus' call me Deputy (dawg).. ?

I like the WTCC.. It keeps me on my toes.. Only two 30 minute practice sessions, a 30 minute qualifying session, a 15 min warm up and two 20 min sprint races of hyper activity.. That's your lot.. About 150 mins in total.. You need a plan for the event just as much as the teams do..

Compare that to the Le Mans Series.. 3 hours of practice.. Qualifying.. Warm up and a 1000km race (5 hours).. about 540 mins.. Almost too much time..

So.. Le mans test this weekend for some.. and I'm off to Pau.. on WTCC duty again..

But what's this.. Yikes... The forecast is for rain (60%) and thunder..

Am I being followed.. ???

Storm in the background shots are exceptionnal!

[Mark Delbrueck]

All great shots! Number 2 is exceptionally cool... but it feels off balance? Maybe I'm the one leaning.... !

[Paul Cherry]

All good stuff. I first admired these on SCP. Stunning storm images.
