Now that sounds like a great idea. Post your best photo taken at this weekend's Brands Hatch CART meeting.

To keep within forum guidelines only ONE picture please, no multiple posts, and no bigger than 400x400 pixels. If you want something bigger upload it to a website and post the URL.

As I know there are a few here with accrediation probably fairer to say if you were a spectator or media pass holder.

I look forward to seeing the results of this... I'd like to know a) Did you have a photographer's pass or accreditation that would b) What camera/lense combo did you use?

Can submit a picture of my television when the race is on? Actually this is a great idea. I look forward to seeing all the images.

I think I've decided to just take my HP Photosmart rather than SLR...not been having very much success scanning my slides of late

Right, let me kick this one off.

From the South Bank spectator area at Surtess/McLaren. Canon D60 + 70-300mm, 1/125s 200ASA setting.

Quite a difficult shot to take as you pan around. The fence ends immediately to the right of the frame so click the shutter too earlier and the car is obscured, too late and it's turned too far to the right to get a good side-on view.

Yikes, that thing looks frightening!! I'll bet your wife loved you for letting it sit on her shoulder whilst you photographed it.

Baz, upload them from where ever you save them...

In the post reply page there is a "browse" next to "attach picture"

Seriously though, if anyone has any pics of the Tracey incident, can you get in touch - we'd love to get some.

Redshoes are you going to pick a winner since it was a contest ;):)

BTW i've just read that back and it did sound a tad rude. Appologies. It was not meant to. Honest ;)

Idea - Maybe we could turn this into a seperate vote thread if you like.

I was assuming this would generate enough interest that we could all pick a best by mutual consent, but with so few entries it hardly seems worth it.
