A day at the races!

You have no doubt heard of Silverstone, Le Mans and the Nürbürgring. Well this weekend, having been to these other venues during the season, the Renault World series came to Alcañiz, or to be precise, Motorland, which is just outside Alcañiz. Quite a catchy name isn't it?

To see any photo full size, click left on it.

It was so packed out and there were no seating places left in the tribuna, the stand, although we got a good view from the top of the paddock building and saw what was happening just after the home straight as the cars roared off over the hilltop and then returned on the long straight and rounded the hairpin to go up the home straight again.


Also in the photos are not only the formula Renault 3.5 series cars blazing around the track but the many lorries which brought them there. There were people from far and wide and of all ages. Babies had wisely been given earplugs to wear as the noise from the cars was extremely loud.

It was certainly a day out with a difference.
