Tamdown Stages Snetterton
Snetterton hasn’t been used for rallying since 2003, but returned this year for the Tamdown Stages. Eight stages were held using various configurations of the 300 layout, including using it in the opposite way to how it is run for circuit racing. The day was clouded in fog which meant that photography was going [...]
MSVR Oulton Park – MSV F3 Cup
The final race weekend of the MSV F3 Cup season was held at Oulton Park in Cheshire. Aaron Steele had gearbox problems in qualifying, so would be starting from the back, which gave some of the others the chance to shine.
Monoposto Snetterton 300 – October 2011
The Monoposto Club revisited the Snetterton 300 circuit, during a season which started and finished on the remodelled Norfolk venue. Coming shortly after the Silverstone Arena support race to the Britcar 24 hour meeting, where there was a fairly high attrition rate, the numbers were somewhat down on the season average which has seen the [...]

Snetterton – VW Fun Cup / Saker & Production GTI
This was my second commissioned piece for Autosport magazine this year, and I was also covering the Production GTI series for a fellow photographer.

MSVR Anglesey September 2011
The remains of Hurricane Katia was battering the North Wales coast when we arrived for the MSVR Weekend. I was there covering the Monoposto Championship and also MSV F3 Cup. I would class this as the most unpleasant weather combination I have ever shot motorsport in! Constant winds of 30mph plus, made [...]
Toyota Sprint Series 2011- Round 5 – Croft Circuit
This was really the first time that TSS has visited a proper circuit – the visits to Rockingham utilise the outer oval with a coned course, and Teesside is a grown up kart circuit with a hilly bit. Croft has a well-publicised noise problem, caused by a messy divorce, and all entrants were reminded to [...]
MSVR Brands Hatch GP circuit
Noise complaints from the housing estates which surround the Brands Hatch circuit in Kent, means the Grand Prix layout is only used a small number of times for race weekends. These tend to be reserved for the top level events such as the British Touring Cars and the Historic Festival, meaning the shorter Indy [...]
Toyota Sprint Series 2011: RAF Cottesmore
A new venue for TSS at RAF Cottesmore near Grantham. This course was a wide, very fast course which required precise lines to get the most from the course. Jonny Milner levelled the series at two all with his friend and rival Adrian Smith, with two rounds left to go. The picture above [...]
BTCC Snetterton
The British Touring Car Championship is the most popular of the national motorsport series by some margin, and it was Snetterton’s turn to host the event, this time using the new 300 configuration for the first time. Some 35,000 spectators came to watch the action resume after a 7 week break. Defending champion Jason [...]
Toyota Sprint Series 2011: Barkston Heath
Barkston Heath is an RAF airfield, currently operating as a training facility in conjunction with Cranwell, and during the post-war and Cold War era was a home to the Bloodhound surface to air missile systems. A small, compact, twisty course which can be run in both directions remains a popular event each year, and [...]
MSV Trackday Trophy Brands Hatch
My previous post suggested the whole weekend was damp. Some of it was actually quite nice. The MSV Trackday Trophy got the best of the weather, especially for morning qualifying, as this shot from the top of Hailwood Hill shows.
