I'm disappointed, I thought this was going to be some Wagnerian thing :rolleyes:

24 hour race, that has to be pretty mental all right (although still not as mental as a bunch of strung out opera fanatics)

Loving these! All of them

Have always had a notion to visit Nurburgring, but don't know if I'd be brave (or rich enough) to drive around it. But would love to take some pictures.
Were these a paying spectator or from a press event? I heard from elsewhere that you can get decent shots from behind the barriers out in the forest....but I dont know if it was reliable info

Edit
There some even better one's on your website. All excellent!

I was signed on as media, which was a PITA in to secure. There are some locations in the woods, particularly around Karussell and Hohe Acht that have photo holes but they were fairly jammers all weekend !

Great shots Paddy, probably the best I have ever see you put up. Gives a good feel for the place.

Loving no 7, especially with the headlights illuminating the ground ahead.

Great series - must have been a fantastic trip.

Belter of a set - the monotone ones work really well. They've got an extra 'weight' to them. Lovely, lovely stuff.
