The DMN series has its last season visit to the Kent countryside and crowns its new champion in Richard Brent! Well done Richard and hope the roof dents polish out!

The 2nd bike meeting of the year and some sunshine for the BEMSEE meeting on the GP circuit. Almost understood the reason behind bike racing today!

SEMSEC returned to Lydden Hill to some glorious weather and a laid back club motorsport day out in the Kent countryside.

Taken a little while to get these online as been on holiday! The HSCC came to Brands Hatch for the last time this year with a great mix of cars around the Indy circuit

The MG Car Club comes to Brands for their only visit this year with some entertaining racing and yet more shocking British sunshine!

The Lydden Festival comes around again with the DMN Saloons and long circuit racing in the morning followed by short circuit stuff in the afternoon. It was very different...

My first ever trip to a rallycross meeting in the familiar surroundings of the Kentish countryside. An entertaining day out with hateful grey skies and drizzle. Summer eh? Rubbish.

The Dunlop Great and British Festival supported the DMN Saloons around the Brands Indy circuit for the 1st of a 2 day meeting over Bank Holiday weekend. Only one day as was elsewhere on Monday!

The second day of the BRSCC race weekend and the Fiesta guys keep the panel repair business in operation! Some beautiful light early on and then back to shooting under cloudy skies...

The Brands Hatch Indy circuit plays host to the BRSCC club race day with the Fiestas starring along with the Sophos Irish Global Lights and some gorgeous Ferraris

The 2nd day at Lydden for the BRSCC race day and the Fiestas, Ford Saloons and Irish Global Lights were out to play again. Stayed dry but the racing wasn't so much fun...

Autosport requested my services for the BRSCC meeting at Lydden Hill. The day dawn bright and sunny but didn't last long and as it clouded up and started to rain. Poor grids but excellent racing!

Race day for the WTCC and it warmed up a bit for the Sunday. Managed to miss most of the incidents but some pretty pictures on one of the best race circuits in the world

The FIA World Touring Car Championship returns to Brands Hatch for the qualifying day. Scorching weather that proved rather too much for some unfortunately...

Day 2 of the weekend at Castle Combe and the main race day. A long and hot day with the Westfields and Minis stealing the show

The DMN Saloons support the Dunlop Great and British Festival at the very fast and bumpy Castle Combe circuit for a SnappyRacers away day! Radicals and Minis were also on the bill

Summer emerged for a couple of hours for the annual visit of the British F3 and GT championships at Brands Hatch. I got quite bored so tried some different angles out on the GP loop which kind of worked...

First SemSec meeting of the year for SnappyRacers and a day of ever changing weather and the usual club atmosphere that surrounds these meetings

DMN Saloons back at Lydden on a gorgeous summer's day and utter perfection. My favourite weekend of the whole year so far without question. Even after sleeping in the car.

The return to Lydden for the first time in months for the BARC meeting with the Performance BMW Championship, Tigers (I want a go in one if someoen reads this!) and Metros!

And the Sunday of the 750's which saw the continuation of some great racing in some quite strong sunshine which made photos tricky. Very entertaining day!

The 750MC returned to Brands for the second time this year with a full weekend's racing across all their usual classes. The Stock Hatch guys and girls bevaed impeccably (almost) throughout with close racing through the field

The return to Le Mans with White Rabbit Racing for the first time in 5 years and some unique opportunities to take some photos trackside. However photos weren't the main objective of the weekend!

MSV's raceday with DMN Saloons headlining and me working for both Autosport and Motorsport News. A busy day all round then!

Well the weather changed slightly for the Bank Holiday Monday!!! A miserable day with strong winds that really put a proper dampener on the racing

The Sunday of the Masters Historic Festival had a damp start but cleared up rather nicely. The Lola T70's were to the fore and the collective worth of the machinery must have been staggering

Having been forced to sit out the A1GP meeting I couldn't let the weekend go by so headed to Combe for the Husqvarna Spring Race Day with LMA Eurosaloons headlining

Well what a busy day! Morning spent at Snett before a charge to Brands for the afternoon races of a BARC day out with a mix of races including Team Desperado!

A new circuit for us and a sunny start to the weekend at Snetterton in Norfolk. DMN boys and girls stole the show again with a massive grid of varied saloon cars

Sunday for the 750MC and the subtle MG racers led the way with the 13 cars in the gravel in 1 corner. Elsewhere some very close and exciting racing in some proper sunshine... (for about 4 minutes!)

Saturday of the 750MC meeting at Brands Hatch in murky conditions. The friendliest and most entertaining of the race clubs lived up to expectations with some great racing

Lydden Hill is under new management this year and it was my first trip for the CTCC and BARC race meeting with sprinting in the morning and an excellent afternoon's racing indeed!

The BTCC season started in entertaining but still rather chilly surroundings at Brands Hatch. Sorry for the delay in getting the gallery online... Laptop went belly up!

Day 2 of the Truck Super Prix. It's had all winter to snow so of course it does it on the first days of the season. 4 hours of snow on a day that was meant to be sunny. Oh, and the racing was good.

Well the season starts here then. Eyes down for a full house and the East Monday Truck Super Prix with support from the DMN saloons, Lotus on Track, Pick Ups and Legends. And snow. Lots of snow.

Well the MSV season pass has come through so it was up to Brands for a recce ahead of the start of the car season later this month. It had better be warmer and dryer than it was for this, the BEMSEE bike season opener

How do you work a camera? Thought I'd go to Bayford for some karting action to try and remind myself which way to look through it!

The winter is taking far too long so it was off to Goodwood for the South Downs Stages and some rally action. A slightly different atmosphere from the Revival!

I suppose this is the last action of the 2007 season. The handing out of the awards at the BARC SEC Dinner & Dance and the chance to talk about 2008's plans
