1000km of Silverstone, Saturday 11th September, 2010.

1) Just so you know we are where we say we are.


2) The Peugeot 908 HDi-FAP of Anthony Davidson and Nicolas Minassian whines though Abbey. Nothing like that Peugeot 309 Diesel I had many years ago.
3) Fastest car was the Audi R15 TDi of Tom Kristenssen and Alan McNish. Doesn't mean to say it will win tho'.

4) Lola Aston Martin of Adrian Fernandez and Harold Primat.
5) The Ginatta-Zytek 09S of the Mansell Brothers (5) slides it up the inside of the Formula Le Mans Oreca 09 of Jody Firth and Warren Hughes.

6) Vicky is forced to admit that not every cool Ferrari comes in red.

7) When a set of tyres cost £1400 it's no wonder teams do this to get every possible lap out of them.

8) Don't put this one on the left side fergawdsake.






9) Howard the team mechanic.


10) Le pilote (we'll look him up in due course).








11) Nicolas Prost. Son of his father and no mistake.




12) What those competing in Radical Masters have for breakfast, evidently.






13) Diversify or die.

14) I had one of these in Solido. The ex-Ickx and Bell classic Le Mans racer.









15) The Saleen is our favourite GT1 car today. The fact that it is the only GT1 entered is nowt to do with it.









16) Audi leaving everything in its wake through Woodcote.










17) Extreme-tailgating comes to Silverstone (it's a bit like this on the M42 every weekday morning).









18) Team Peugeot in Parc Ferme.












19) Team Audi ditto.










20) Classic Endurance Cars dispute the best line through Luffield.









21) Stingray convoy is quick down the straights but hopeless around the corners. Twas forever thus.









22) Back at Abbey for the now traditional shot of new Pit Complex taking shape. The roof's on and there are some windows now.










23) Fire-fire. Burn-burn. Yeah cool. Huh-huh, huh-huh. The spirit of Beavis and Butthead is still alive and well in the Kersey household.
