Nissan GT-R (I keep calling it the Skyline but it's not, anymore), run by RJN Motorsport and the winner of yesterday's British GT Championship race at Brands Hatch, by 0.022 sec (a bonnet length!) after two hours of racing...

| Nissan GT-R GT3, at Surtees Bend, and just heading out onto the Brands Hatch GP loop. Nikon D3S, 300mm f2.8 + TC14E converter (420mm equiv), 1/250th at f8, ISO 100 (Lo-1 on a D3S) Raw file as usual now, processed in Aperture 3.3 but very little other than a modified Auto-Enhance and Sharpening applied. |
The car was driven by Alex Buncombe and a young lad called Jann Mardenborough. Google his name, and you find that last year he was a Gran Turismo player until he qualified for and won the GT Academy, set up by game-maker Sony and Nissan. A year later, he's winning races...
