All of these shots are from the Autosport Silverstone 1000km Le Mans Series race. The weather was totally different to Saturday, overcast, grey and bloody cold, but it didn't detract from one of the closest, most entertaining LMS races I have ever seen. 16 changes of lead and an overall podium decided on lap 192 of 195. Anyway, as always, C&C is welcome, appreciated and encouraged on these shots.

1. Go!

2. Danny Watts trying very hard to get past Nigel Mansell in the early stages

3. Gigawave GT1 winning Aston getting the discs glowing into Abbey

4. Jean-Christophe Boullion's amazing comeback drive (last on the grid to the lead in 50 minutes) comes to nothing just after Christophe Tinseau took over the car. This gearbox oil leak cost them 24 laps

5. About to be lapped again
