Blancpain GT Series, Silverstone, Saturday 14th May, 2016.

11:45-ish.
Right to left:
Fastest GT of the day: the GRT Grasser Racing Team Lamborghini Huracan GT3 at Brooklands.
12:15-ish.
Left to right:
Nissan GT Academy Team RJN Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 exits Aintree.
12:30-ish.
No need for elbows.
Gaps through the fencing are at a premium.
Right. Time to go and get some lunch at The Paddock Cafe.
Sausage (3), Mash, mixed veggos and gravy for David.
Baked potato with tuna and salad for Vicky.
Oh, and 2 cups of tea, obviously.
1:00-ish.
There's young and then there's really young.
Robert Shwartzman (RUS) gets ready for the start of the Renault 2.0 NEC race.
Vicky's head has been turned by a Lambo in black!
Just 'cos you own a 'supercar' doesn't mean you can park it anywhere yer like.
1:30-ish.
Ready for the Renault 2.0 NEC race which was won by……………
…………...Max Defourney (BEL).
Time for a wander 'round the paddock now.
2:00-ish.
Close-up shot of Bentley GT3. 
Very nice (the car, not the shot).
Cowin' heck. Dani's here!
He's much taller than you'd imagine.
 Scott's here too (in old colours)!
Not to mention Kimi!
Kimi?
We said not to mention Kimi (with a big thanks to Spike Milligan).
Note how Kimi is bonding with an animal from his neck of the woods.
Bentley drivers head for the GT3 Driver's Briefing.
It'll be summat to do with 'Track Limits' we wager.
3:00-ish.
Lambos ready to rock.
Lambos leaving the paddock.
(Do not enlarge. Diabolical picture quality).
Note to self: must stop blogging movies taken with our Digital Compact.
3:30-ish.
Catching some zeds prior to the start of the Lambo race.
Denis Lind (DEN) won the Lambo race.
4:30-ish.
GT3's at Luffield.
Time to head back to the car park now.
We forgot to set our Fit Bits when we arrived but they tell us that we've walked
over 6 miles all-told today. 
We'd say that 5 of them were walked here.
It's been something of a fleeting visit (for us) 'cos Emlyn hasn't been well lately and we don't want to leave him alone for too long.
We have a good run home (back at 6:15) and Emlyn is very pleased to see us.
So much so that he has a huge 'proverbial' after his evening dinner of Ocean Fish.
It's a seven-incher! A new Emlyn record. He's been holding that one in for 2 days!
Just thought we'd mention it.
