**Snapper Baz** · 7 Nov 2007, 22:00 (Ref:2062476)

Did it get in Autosport??? I didnt get to see that issue...damn!!!

minimangler · 8 Nov 2007, 02:37 (Ref:2062623)

Yeah it did, in the "international week in pictures" or whatever they call it, with the quotes down the side. Shouldn't you know???

Thats legends racing for you! Good shots.

For me it has to be this sequence of 19 shots from my D2H at the Hairpin at Knockhill in 2005.

Lee Longden opened the throttle whilst still on the edge of the tyre and 'highsided' himself off his Honda. Jimmy Storrar, who was following right behind, had nowhere to go when Longden landed on the tarmac in front of him. Albeit very battered and bruised and out of action for a few weeks, Leee is back in the saddle.

Seeing exactly where that no 54's front wheel went, exactly which "Back in the saddle" did you mean???

A definite OW! moment.

Glad to hear he's now OK though.

I've seen a rallycross photo of an upside down Evo, square upside down, only thing in the shot, camera is staring down the undertray. It was hilarious. Someone here will know it!

stefan · 29 Nov 2007, 13:59 (Ref:2077963)

I'm not often at the trackside - I tend to spend more time in the pits but last year I happened to catch this rolling Lotus at the Le Mans Classic - and had the right lens on at the time too. The gap between the car on the track and the start of the roll shows my slow reaction time...

David L · 29 Nov 2007, 14:08 (Ref:2077970)

a 5-car pile up.. fancy.. I never saw that..

jjordan · 30 Nov 2007, 13:46 (Ref:2078683)

Stefan....gives a whole new meaning to "blow your doors off." Never saw someone do it to themselves though. Definately worth some style points.

HCForums · 30 Nov 2007, 13:58 (Ref:2078689)

Must be Costa in 2.0 Italia last year, taken with my old cheap cam. Here are the zoomed in pictures.

minimangler · 3 Dec 2007, 02:03 (Ref:2080227)

Stefan, that is the best crash sequence i have ever seen.

BobHWS · 11 Dec 2007, 21:00 (Ref:2086769)

I always wait around after the conclusion of the Grand Prix du Canada in Montreal, hoping to catch one of the drivers coming out to greet the fans after the race. This year I got lucky and I was in a good spot when Lewis Hamilton came out about an hour after the finish. I was standing at an opening in the fence that separates the track from the paddock area and I snapped this photo of Lewis giving his signature thumbs-up gesture.

i dunno about anyone else, but i'm confused.

It's ok, it took me a while to spot as well.

Something had changed on the hosting without me knowing so the 'date added' section on that page was showing a default value of 1st Jan 1970. I've since fixed so it's got the correct date now.

One of those Dutch BMW 1-series going of the track at Zolder:

Jesus, its like d-day with all the flying sand...

**ScotsBrutesFan** · 27 Dec 2007, 19:48 (Ref:2095459)

Not as sharp as some of the pics here, but it was very much a snap shot.

FBMW Race 1 at Knockhill in 2007

**Aysedasi** · 28 Dec 2007, 11:57 (Ref:2095718)

Robin_D · 29 Dec 2007, 13:00 (Ref:2096165)

Ok so not strictly a car. Or Motorsport. But I like it

btcckid · 29 Dec 2007, 15:29 (Ref:2096222)
