Default Pix from British GT Championship from Rockingham

Firstly massive thanks to The Crowman for supplying Daz & myself VIP treatment with The Ferrari Predator Race Team.

Awesome day & with unrestricted passes we could go anywhere which gave me a good opportunity of taking some photos.
















Some of the competition

































































The sound of thus thing done funny things to my pecka !












































































































Many teams have two drivers, the team owner and a Pro driver.

We were informed that the 3 Porsche Pro drivers were paid £20K per day.










This is the team we spent the day with.

All going well in 10th place and a £5,500 drive shaft snapped !!
















































































Other pix































































































































These carbon brake pads are 2 grand a box

Great shots Clive.

I got taken to last year's one by my Lamborghini buddy - but gawped rather than take great photos like that.

Stunning stuff, but I'm guessing the stands were completely empty like last year which makes the massive money involved even harder to understand. I get that it's designed for telly and brand awareness etc but it's hard to see how it all adds up. Having said that the obvious money in the paddock is a clue - one of the guys who drove up with us from London had his Enzo collected at lunchtime and his 458 dropped off instead as he fancied driving a different car home...

The car park we parked in last year before we had a spin around the track at lunchtime...:eeek:

On the way there in a convoy

Totally crazy Fat Boy. You would assume it pulled in more spectators than touring car ??????

The food was as impressive as the cars.

Top notch throughout.


Next up is Brands Hatch

Great Photos Guys, Looks a top day out!

BTCC for me any day, GT racing in the UK never gets the big name drivers.

Great snaps Clive.

Love my GT racing. See Martyn pics on FB the other day and was green with envy.

Got to love the sound of the Z4 GT3. Sounds like a NASCAR.
