Default F1 Testing @ Silverstone (+ F355)

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


Panaramic View of the Luffield Complex:








The Cars:








































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?

I hope to see more pics from your next outing.

Unfortunately there isn't much going on at Oulton Park (the nearest circuit to me) at the moment... i will have to go next summer as the club racing days they have are great 8)
