Pics of the Belgian GP Formula one Spa- Franchorchamps

[Harry Spotter]

Any more of these to share

Many of my photos are so-so, so here are a few that turned out OK.

Saturday:
We walked around the track while they were doing trainings and qualifying.

Training at +/- 11:00, Toyota going up Eau Rouge, shot through a fence:


Then we walked to Pouhon, to watch the Porsche cup and F1 qualifying at 14:00:


Button, 1/125 f7.1 220mm ISO100

Webber, 1/250 f7.1 210mm ISO200

Vettel:

Towards the end of qualifying we walked up the hill, near the spot we went to the next day.
Toyota, 1/800 f7.1 400mm ISO200


Sunday:
Small racecars first (don't know which class this is, filename is called formulaBMW by mistake). 1/160 f5.6 ISO400 330mm


Then Formula BMW (no pics) and GP2:
1/200 f6.3 400mm ISO200


Then came the Porsches. This guy got knocked off the track...


...by Henny (dented bumper to prove it):


After that the real race started:
Buemi, 1/400 f6.3 400mm ISO100


The elevated spot allowed a view of the pits and other parts of the track. Here you can see all the people up at the fences:


Webber, 1/250 f6.3 400mm ISO200


Barichello, "pop goes the weasel!". 1/320 f8 400mm ISO200


The rest of my pictures are similar to these, so I'll leave it at this. Hope you like.

Hi Harry,

Nice pics again, lots of variation. Love that top shot from Buemi! Below a few more from Friday, in the wet, the sun and a few arty ones Again taken from Rivage and just beyond the former bus-stop chicane, when entering the start/finish straight.































BTW I only went on Friday and Saturday

[Harry Spotter]

Good stuff!

Great catches guys. Good to see a lot of low shutter speed pictures.

I am curious if someone made pictures in the Stavelot corner. A new grandstand was placed there and it was only accessible with a steel ticket.

and finally poor Luca Badoer, even for us it was easy to see that he was dead slow....


Well, that is all for this year. Had a nice 2 days with Maurice and Ferry, next year off to Le Mans??
