F1 Testing @ Silverstone (+ F355)

[mindgam3]

Had an amazing half a day out today. First time i've seen/heard F1 cars running in real life and dam..... what a sound!! Its not as deafening as other high performance race cars i've heard that just. Its just such a pure sound its really unreal. Anyway here are the pics, apologies for not getting big enough pics of the cars, my compact doesent have that big a zoom and my dad wouldnt let me take his slr :( Was gonna pop into silverstone TVR but ran out of time and memory. Ill have to go back there soon ;) Heres the pics, i have them all in 2592 x 1728 if anyone want hig res of any of them

And on the way out just had time to snap a STUNNING 355 berlinetta in dark blue with tan sports seats, mmmm. Are those seats a standar/option btw, or are they aftermarket?
