I wouldn't necessarily agree about Thruxton not being great for taking pictures - not very photogenic maybe but not too much high fencing and in places you can get quite close to the circuit . Admittedly it is a shame spectators can't get anywhere near the most spectacular part of the circuit out the back but there are other places that do provide plenty of action and overtaking . Wonder if and when spectators will be allowed to use the banking that now runs alongside Woodham Hill ?
Thank you! the Celica shot was taken directly opposite the bank in front of the control tower - if I had panned a little more to my right you would have seen the main gate entry as you can just see in this one


As for the not great comment - you are correct, sorry I didn't word that very well, and I agree it's a shame we cant have more access to the faster part of the circuit. Still a terrific / original 'grass roots circuit'
