[Paulnsx] FIA GT Championship @ Silverstone 4-20-08 [TONS of pics]

Warning, there are no evo pics in here (sorry). I went to London a few weeks ago and went to this race at Silverstone Circuit. It was AWESOME! Hope you like them!!!

BTW, open paddocks FTW!


<< Paddocks >>

This was one of MANY F430 Cup cars they had... there were probably 35+ all in one room...


Another F430 Cup car...


Still another...


One of the Vantage race cars


Another Vantage race car


One more Vantage shot


Ford GT race car. GT2 class I believe.


Gallardo race car, again GT2 class I believe.


The Gallardo was ohh soo sexy in person


Ascari KZ1R


"Artistic" Gallardo shot


Gallardo again


Gallardo and Ford GT getting ready for the GT2 race


C6R in the paddocks (SOOOO LOUD!)


Two F430 Cup cars


Several more F430 Cup cars


One of the above cup cars. This one had an interesting hood. It might be hard to see here.



<< Car show >>

Two F430s...


GT3 RS


The new Maserati Gran Turismo


Aston DBS


Ascari KZ1R road car


Aston lineup


Another Ascari KZ1R shot


Yet another...


Ferrari 308


Another Ferrari 308 shot


Me and the 308

F355 Spyder


Couple subys. I dug the blue one alot. Surprisingly there was an evo section... but no evos


McMerc SLR 722GT


Old school Aston Vantage


F430 Scuderia... *uggh*

Another shot


Me and the Scuderia


599 GTB



<< GT Championship Shots >>

Saleen S7R


550 Maranello... This car was ridiculously ear piercing... Much louder than the F430s surprisingly


F430


F430 and the Murcielago. The Murcielago was by far the loudest of all these cars... I swear my ears were going to bleed everytime it ripped by!


C6R


F430


C6R


F430


F430 and that gorgeous Murcielago again...


That sick 550 Maranello


911 followed by the Gillet Vertigo. The Vertigo was the loudest of the cars that "rubbled" American style.


Whops! Someone's going the wrong way!


F430


550 Maranello


F430


Gillet Vertigo


Vantage


F430, C6R, and the Murcielago


Group shot

<< After race shots >>






















<< Lotus Experience >>
The weekend after the race I did the Lotus driving experience @ Silverstone. It was AMAZING. I *highly* recommend it! It was the Exige 240 S btw (despite what the website says!)... soooo amazing!!!! The instructor I had was absolutely awesome!

Heres a link for the event: http://www.silverstone.co.uk/php/de_lotusExige_exp.html
