    Default Track day at Oulton Park

    I was asked to cover a Track Day at Oulton Park. First time I have been to that track and I was well impressed. It is very very clean, tidy, really looked after... they even had a proper cafe Excellent track for photographers very few hi fences and easy walk-able access to various places around the circuit.

    Everyone favourite - Escort MkI [edit: thanks 'Bod']


    S2000 taking on a Elise




    Privately owned Radical


    Another Elise - this guy smashed his drive shaft, I managed to tlak to him whilst he was waiting for recovery. He said this is his 3rd shaft in 2 months.. starting get an expensive hobby.
