Barbertour

2005 Barber Motorsports Park Tour - page 1 (of 4)

What a magnificent facility!

This was my first visit to Barber and I hope that some of these photos can do justice to the vision of George Barber and his stunning creation

- Barber Motorsports Park. In the last 35 years, I have traveled to, and photographed, racetracks all over Europe & the United States,

but nothing I have seen comes close to the scale, attention to detail and superb execution of this project.

Because you did not have access to the inside of the track and were busy concentrating on your riding skills, I have tried to capture

some of the sights you may have missed from our three days in Birmingham, including a peek inside the Barber Museum.

I hope you all enjoyed your time with Reg, Gigi and the CLASS Team

- I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Thanks,

Ian Donald
