Only a couple to kick things off but I'll get more uploaded when I get a chance to process them. I guess this is my first attempt at properly trying to get some good snaps on a race weekend. Lots to learn but had fun!

Doune June 2012. Characterised by a treacherous combination of new tarmac and damp weather. No records were going to get broken, but a few cars did.

This Mk1 Escort looks perfectly at home slewing through Oak Tree corner.

Now a reformed character back on the straight and narrow.

Malcolm Milne driving his well developed Nova beyond the limit. Don't let the colour fool you, this is a serious piece of kit.

The Marshals were quick to jump into action. The track was swept, broken glass was picked up piece by piece and the barriers were checked. Malcolm was fine with the Nova looking like it could benefit from a new headlamp and wing.

I followed the GWR Raptor team for a wee while and got a set of shots as they prepared for a run up the hill. Driver Lee Adams won both run offs in the petite car which has an engine half the size of some competitors. As the saying goes it's what you do with it that counts...

A Radical makes it way across the Meadow.

A much better use for a BMW M5 V8 than a large saloon car!

Aonghus Drummond's recently upgraded Integra looking back at home in the Paddock.

One of those upgrades being a move from ACB10's to slicks.

Car and driver are from Aberdeen...

I reckon that'll do!
