Default D1GP Drifting Championship Silverstone (big 56k No-no)

Thought I'd go along to the D1GP Drift at Silverstone today and had a fantastic day. First proper time with my telephoto at a circuit too, although sadly I couldn't get to some the places I'd have loved to have been in (inside the final corner where you can get some awesome panning shots). Even so, I managed to get some pretty pleasing shots. Took a few with my new portrait lense too images/smilies/wink.gif

So...less talk, more pictures images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Great work, but I have to agree with rootrider, not a fan of the tilt.

Love the photos ArosaMike.

What sort of a crowd did the event pull? Are people recognising drifting as a legit motorsport??

I can see what you mean about the skewed angle images/smilies/tongue.gif Don't particuarly know why I was in a slanty mood images/smilies/tongue.gif Not all the pictures are like that though. Half the problem is, that I haven't had enough time to edit them all yet! Here's a cool pan I just did images/smilies/wink.gif

It's a shame there was so much smoke around from the previous car images/smilies/sad.gif

No,no....really your criticism is welcome. I'd rather know truely what people think than have them just blindly say 'great'. I can totally see what you meant about the angle, and I agree images/smilies/smile.gif

Yes, I have heard of D1.
Yes, I know it's a legit sport.

However, being a legit sport doesn't mean it's gonna pull massive crowds, especially in a country more known for touring cars than drifting.

So, are people recognising drifting as a proper form of motorsport?
