Bad weather means good photos

After so many days out this year being ruined by heat haze, it was great to be trackside in the wet, and it was "very" wet. Just how I like it.

With both myself, and the camera well protected, there wasn't a problem.

later in the day it did clear up a bit, but I do like it very wet. Not sure the drivers would agree though.

Nice set! Pushing the cars to their limits in the rain must be a white knuckle experience!

Racing in the rain is a matter of attitude, you adjust lines and speed for less traction. When I raced, I enjoyed rain, partly because some competitors were afraid of it.
