Silverstone today

[Viper]

nipped down to Silverstone today with Colin to see Bjorn and Nad running the CC, Colin had a couple of sessions on track in the passenger seat

a busy track with lots of lovely different marques including a Porsche GT and Enzo giving it some stick, there seemed to be quite a few race teams there as well

Thanks Neil, great pics. What is the camera you use? Some of the shots look like you've used a slower shutter speed, makes the cars look on the move, rather than the usual static look. Please feel free to come again to the next track day we're doing at Silverstone 5th June. Lots of mates with serious machinery, GT40's, Ferrari's, Porsche 917, Vipers etc. will be doing that day. Well worth comming along, you might get a ride with some of us round the GP circuit. Remember your camera and helmet!

Hope Colin has recovered his little outing with Nad and I yesterday, concerned that the pale Scot got a bit whiter...... after we did 160 down Hanger Straight; he told me afterwards that he only likes going 30 MPH!!!

NO, not recovered yet from that horror, you said we were going out for small site seeing trip, I told you several times to slow down but it was like you were ignoring me.

it sounds you felt the need...
...The Need for De-Accleration

and to think full slicks wasnt fitted

camera was my new Canon 400D with a 300mm lense i need to get to grips with it, the pics need editing etc they were straight off the camera but i didnt have time last night. I tried a slow 1/320 and 1/240 shutter to help blur things a little and show a little movement, rather than the usual pin sharp image which dont show speed to well
