I'll forego the usual Silverstone related moans and dive straight into the pics. I know they look a bit "cars on a track" but that's.....wait for it.... "Because it's Silverstone".

#1. Now that's what i call body roll...Alfa Romeo Giulia Spint.

#2 TR5 without roof, TR5 with roof and a not TR5 (aka a Ginetta G4)

#3 Neil Glover's gorgeous Lola T330 F5000 in the Derek Bell Trophy..

#4 A rare and lovely thing - an Arnolt Bristol.

#5 Back to the Derek Bell Trophy and this time an F2 Car. Sean Walker in the March 782 that won Saturday's race...how it beat the F5000's is still a mystery..

#6 That'll be an E-Type. I've resisted the temptation to Photoshop the numberplate *whistles*

#7 I....want....one. Ferrari 275 GTB *drool*

#8. To round things off, a rather lovely Lotus Elite. Not to be confused with the wedge-shaped 70's abomination of the same name...

EXIF is intact on all of those, but they're a mixture of 50D (1to5) and 1DMK2N (6,7 & 8 ) with the Sigma 500 EX f4.5 bolted on. Unusually for me i used the Sigma Drop-In Polariser on 1 to 4 as a bit of an experiment...


Thanks for looking, hope i haven't caused you to nod off..

All great shots Geoff and some lovely cars on display. Hard to pick a favourite but it would be between the Bristol and the Ferrari.


Cheers

When I see photos as good as this I am almost tempted to give up. Outstanding.
