Historic and Classic Race Cars - wonderful things and driven a lot harder than you might first think.
Seeing a Silver e-Type push very hard through the bends to only just be caught before it ran out of road, lap after lap, in pursuit of the leaders was a real joy to watch.
And then the ground shakes as the magnificent Classic F1 and F5000 cars come out to play. These are driven with more respect - time has not improved their temperament - but they are still driven with conviction.
Or you can go watch F1 ... Hummmm.
1. #90 Peter Sugden and Andy Wolfe Jaguar E-Type - Bit of a Silverstone cliche this shot, but has to be done on a sunny day. Never worked out how to add motion and have the Club House crisp
2. Where the rubber hits the road or some other such management twaddle
This one is the rear end of #52 Daryl Taylor's Chevron B28
3. #52 Daryl Taylor Chevron B28 in all its glory (there was even a crowd!)
4. #51 Robert Thorpe Lotus 51 - Shame the crowd wasn't big enough for all the stands. Taken from the "trench" on the outside of Copse where you really need to be 6 feet 6 inches tall
5. Thought I'd try something arty ... #49 Keith Norris Chevron B49
6. Was impressed by the Triumph at the Donington Historic Festival. Out having fun in the morning sun at Silverstone - #36 Richard Cross Triumph 2000 Mk1. The fact that the quarter lights still work and are open on a sunny morning did make me smile.
7. To the victors go the spoils #19 Ewan McIntyre and Mark Lewis in their Lotus 15 won the 1 hour GT & Sports Car Cup
The complete set are on the web site
where you can also find a link to the current issue of the magazine. As always CC is most welcomed. No way of getting better if you don't find a lesson to learn from the last time (more management twaddle)
