Silverstone, Saturday 16th April, 2011.

1) David is happy, yet worried. Vicky has got hold of the SLR and he's not quite sure if he will ever get it back. Oh well, at least he can look forward to many quirky jaunty-angle paddock shots.


2) Lotus racing teams are a bit like crows it would seem. Always nipping into a rivals nest and nicking their twigs.



3) We arrive at the inside of Copse Corner only to find that someone has nicked our favourite grandstand. Thus forcing us to stand and watch. Appalling. Must be all part of the ongoing re-vamp of spectator facilities in time for the car GP.

4) Talking of which: this is the new almost-but-not-quite-finished Silverstone Wing complex. The pit lane entry will follow the line where the diggers are. And, yes, they are working on it on a Saturday.


5) F2 Chaos at the Club Corner chicane-thingy. It would seem these F2 drivers still have a lot to learn. Mind you, one of them is managing to stay on-track and pointing in the right direction, so it's not all bad.

6) Will Bratt came second in the F2 race. Here he lights up the rear wing of his Williams (they are all made by Williams) at Chapel Curve.


7) The Mini Challenge cars are quite slow yet quite interesting. Curious. This is at Brooklands Corner, by the way.

8) We finish the day at Luffield watching the GT's in the wonderful spring sunshine. You don't get many days like this at Silverstone!



9) After the meeting has ended we meet up with Sue and Billy for the now-traditional April rendezvous catch-up at the Green Man.
