Can't see a thread for this and with the upcoming Z4 race series I thought it would be good to see some photos of zeds being used in anger on track :)
Plus the photos are usually taken by some fairly competent snappers, unlike myself! They also cost a bit so nice to share :)
Here's a few of mine at Brands Hatch recently on a bit of a murky day.

Thanks! I love the first photo.
Smiling though was frankly out that day! Extremely slippy and a new track (to me) meant a rather 'concentration' face :oops:

Some excellent pictures. I particularly liked Stig's Zed at the top of a crest headlights ablaze, and Tom's first photograph.
Alpinas (?Alpinae) always look amazing in photographs, made even more striking because they are so infrequently seen.

These are my most recent from Thruxton:

The remainder were taken at the first few track days I did with the car when I had Eibachs and a strut brace but otherwise OEM suspension:

There's an apex here somewhere but I don't think there's much danger of me finding it :oops:
