It is the time of the year again , so I have beenspending some time selecting about 1300 different shots from the events we visited this year. It has been a busy one with both the Le Mans Classic and the Manaco Historics taking place (both affected by rainfall), and of course all the California action and the Goodwood stuff will show up here.
Other vent include the FIA GT3 WC race at Nogaro, including the CER, and the Dix Mille tours at Paul Ricard, marking the end of the CER season, but with some goodies as Group C racing and a Ferrari regularity event.
There will be some shots from in-door events like the auctions, Retromobile and Essen. Many shots will show drivers and other "famous" people, and with Dan Gurney being the star at Goodwood, he will be a returning hero.
Sequence of the shots is absolutely random. Shots are of reasonable size, but I did keep on the logo which I hope you will understand.
Enjoy
