Hi all,

It seems every year I do one of these wrap-ups they get closer and closer together :( I must be old now. It's coming up to 10 years now since I picked up my first DSLR and a lot has happened in those years - hopefully the pictures continue to improve :D

Anyway, here's a selection from 2018, shooting British GT and WEC trackside with a couple of speccy trips to the F1 and Blancpain.

C&C more than welcome as always...

1. It started out in March with the British GT Media Day

2. Then the traditional rain began in Oulton Park

3. ...and it didnt stop until after Rockingham

4. ...where it stopped forever

8. Nicki Thiim looks like a bad ass

9. The only time a Mclaren looked fast this year was when I vomited Photoshop all over it XD

How is it that you just keep getting so much better!?!?!

Really liking your pit shots this year and considering the conditions and dispite the fact it's one of your trademark angles no 10 still just suprised me. (y)
 
No 9 blows me away.
 
They ALL blow me away, Jesus Christ, I've so much to learn ... depressing and inspiring at the same time!
 
As always great images and unreal processing skills. Hard to pick a favourite from these but your pitlane shots are excellent.
 
You have skills. Shots are great and the processing excellent.

Wow, what a series. Impressive stuff (y)
 
Fantastic, 9,11 and 16 shade it for me, I'd love to see 5 in colour :)

Hahaha I think it's marginal gains, still have a lot of points through year where I kick myself for not doing something better... haha glad you're not blighted with neck ache ;)

Thanks mate, the pit stuff is always nice to do for variety but I'm still not very consistant when it comes to getting the shot I set out to.

Hahaha thanks... sadly the tones dont work as well so prefered the impact of the B+W
 
Well done Jonny another cracking year for you. Your processing has always stood out to me as well as your panning skills with the long lenses, would love to se some wider action too.

Hahaha cheers Mike good to hear but i'm not so sure... still got a long way to go :D
 
Like all of those - particularly the McLaren and Samantha.

Is it me, or is the colour of the 95 Aston a bit... Off?
