The right line

Make it easy for yourself.

I have never been to see the British Touring Car Championship. In fact, I’ve never been to Brands Hatch. I have also never used a 600mm lens. I sure like to make it easy for myself! Ha! I was pretty excited to see the start of the 2016 racing season. Following on from my decision…
