Grasscutting...

As I'd be otherwise occupied on raceday, I decided to take advantage of being on annual leave AND the unseasonal weather to get some suitable pictures for printing from qualifying day at Brands Hatch for the penultimate round of the British Touring Car Championship.

I'd originally wanted to get the cars riding the kerbs on the entry to Surtees, but as they were on the GP circuit for this meeting the racing line is different, so I walked round to the exit of the corner, where they sometimes ride the kerbs on their way out to Pilgrims Drop.

Dave, you're supposed to be the OTHER side of the kerbing!
