Picture Description
The sky started to get dark almost as soon as I arrived. This didn't prevent the usual complement of helicopters landing. Last year a helicopter got into difficulty and had to make an emergency landing.
I took this picture of Niall Brean in car 17 during the formation lap.
Once the race began in earnest the drivers fought for position all the way around the circuit. These two cars tangled with each other and ended up on the grass.
This driver needed assistence getting his car back to the pit lane. The car was damaged, the nose from his car is on the tow truck!
