Hampton Down's Legends - Saturday March 20th.
With Nigel, Mike Feist, Milan and James Watson, all toting cameras, Saturday should be well covered. I only stayed for practice, as I hadn't initially intended going at all until Sunday.
Horrendouse traffic backlogs on the motorway, in both directions due to accidents. Takanini southbound, Otahuhu northbound.
Geoff Harriman has switched from the Ralt to a Tatuus Toyota - which he claims is much easier to drive and feels that the car isn't trying to wipe him out!! The first pic with the new lens...

I'm not a huge fan of one make/one model series, but the BMW E30 series is without a doubt, probably the most successful in NZ's history, in terms of grid size and close racing. As one whose primary objective is to amass a library of different car makes and models, I rarely make an effort to photograph the E30's, but from a close racing point of view, fantastic.

The two Mk 2 Jaguars were stunningly presented especially under the bonnet.

Toby Annabel's McLaren M10B was originally a David Good, UK hillclimb car, but then painted red. David Good was a talented driver but only had one arm, so wasn't allowed a race licence.

*I may have to post more than once a day as there are so many pics taken and with another Caffeine & Classics, the British Car Day and maybe a VCC/MGCC event, coming up shortly, I won't be short of material. Makes up for last year. H'mmm. No it doesn't.

The MGF is a really cheap entry level sportscar and the green one, driven here by Barry Hare, is the MGCC el cheapo '24 Lemons' car.
Unfortunately, the last ERC race of the weekend, the Legend's trophy handicap race, was cut short, when an errant Porsche dumped oil on the track, but this merely allowed Nev Thompson to retain his position at the front of the AES group.
For points calculations, I always recalculated finishing positions (and points) if the race was affected by safety cars or red flags, but this just wasn't possible, but as the series' longest serving member, an appropriate recipient of the Ray Green Trophy ("The slowest Living Legend" of the meeting!)

Caffeine & Classics today, a much smaller turnout than usual, probably because it is Beach Hop weekend.
Still worth taking over 50 photographs - and several people to chat to, as usual.
