Volvo Race Pics and Vids Thread

Nice pics, the view from here in Knocknacarra (upstairs back window and the garden) were deadly. How the heck they fly in such close formation is mesmerizing, fair dues to the lads because that takes some balls.

Right, I'm off to the pub.

Excellent pictures all ... I am so Jealous ... we had to do a U turn as traffic was totally backed up and watched it from a beach past Kinvara.

I reckon it was about five miles across and this is what I ended up with

It was so hazy at that distance I could not use auto focus on the quick shot sports setting so had to rely on manual focus which was not any good either at the distance ....

See my feeble effort

people on the car park have been actin the magit to say the least all week, delighted to see everyone kicked off, no problem with people enjoying the view or taking photos there, but throwing things off, and pissing the residents is a dif story!

It was the headland just out past the caravan park, some of the teams weather spotters were on there as well.
