MLR Sprint / Time Attack warm up

[RX7]

Well, I will apologise for the huge number of photos on this thread but I took close to 600 pics and these are after a lot of refining and removing

Anyway, Ben picked me up early and we headed off there about 9. The trusty Golf....

After arriving, a quick dash into Tyrells for a bacon sarnie we went up to the new viewing area overlooking the Riches corner of the main track and the sectioned off bit for the sprint stuff (on the 300 area).
A great view across the sprint track and also back over the Snetterton complex


Wandering back to the Sprint entrance area we were greated with a plethora of awesome cars including some very familiar ones


The queue for the sprint practice laps

looks like I was spotted

A quick wander round the rest of the cars here before heading back up to the previous area to capture some of the cars out on the practice laps.
Nice R34 GTST


White Evo 5 with proper JDM wheels



The blistering Lateral Performance Scooby, it was incredible !!

Nice Starlet and other marques




The noise of the TVR and how it kept the power down was impressive.
Then onto some shots of familiar faces

Ben then came running over telling me to get my arse into the Snetterton office to get a passenger lap with Gary. Form signed and a few mins wait I found myself strapped into the passenger seat of the infamous Evo 7. I can vaguely remember what happened...speed....brake.....brake.....speed......it was a fduking hoot !!!! Thanks so much for that Gary Such an impressive car and driver to match, love the interior

I took the opportunity to then wander round the rest of the complex and take some shots of the Time Attack stuff and things in the car park.
Ross' Evo 10

This is how the highrollers do it....

Super clean Evo 6

A few of the Honda boys were out, a really nice bunch of guys but did nothing to break the baseball cap owning reputation so often associated with them. Some nice cars though like this EK Civic

DC5s.....yep I love them.



Then we spotted some special cars like this Porsche GT3


and another

Ben was particularly pleased as the owner had mounted one of his favourite Gopro cameras in it

Love this 370z

Wandering round the Time Attack Pitlane area was fun, got a few funny looks when taking pics but suppose it goes with the territory when you are holding an SLR

For Pablo and Bart

VX220s were out in force

[RX7]

One for the Skyline boys



That last one was for sale and the list of mods were huge, so was the price tag !!
Now this interested me, for

[RX7]

The sight and sound of this R34 was divine !!


Proof you don't need a hardcore car to have fun


Stu and TK, think someone had some sideways action at this point

[RX7]

Even a Mk1 Golf out there enjoying the fun

Back in the Sprint paddock there was more eye candy

The place to go and check your times, happy and sad at the same time for some people.

One of Bens favourite cars of the day
