BTCC

Today, my friend Neil and I, went to Silverstone for the British Touring Car Championship.



As well at the BTCC there were a number of support races, including Formula BMW, Seat Cupra cup, Porche Carrera Cup, Renault Clio Cup and Ginetta Junior Championship.

It amounted to a full day of back to back racing. Plus it was wet so it was very exciting racing, with only a few races not requiring the safety car and the Juniors seem to have a spinner on nearly each lap.

A great day - BTCC is outstanding for close, bumper to bumper, exciting racing.

Helicopter park

They reckon that on race day for the F1 GP, Silverstone becomes the busiest airport in the world. We were sat opposite what appeared to be the helicopter park which seemed to prove it...

I tried to get a shot like this (this is the actual photo - it's not a cropped shot) of Lewis as he did his parade lap after the race but failed, mainly due to all the people in the way (the atmosphere was amazing). But I was chuffed to get this one of Rubens who was happy to have finished 3rd.
