Formula 1 Test Day 14/09/05 Silverstone
 

For the second time this year I went to Silverstone yesterday for another F1 test day. Not as many teams there as the one earlier in the year (no Ferrari :cry: ) but was still awesome to see so many cars/drivers for free on a Wednesday :)

Teams there were:

McLaren Mercedes
Red Bull Racing
Jordan Toyota
Williams BMW
Renault

Enjoy....

Matt :D

P.S Big thanks to Geoff (Chip) for doing something he didn't have to in the middle of a very difficult time :thumb:

Are these events publicised ?

Yes but not much I don't think.

Matt :D

Typical. ;)

Good pics though. :)

Thanks :)

Nice one, thanks for sharing.

Nothing in the world quite like that sound is there :)

M.

On the subject of the sound...
When i came out my house lastnight, i could swear i heard an F1 car..
Thought i was hearing things, only to find out there was one in Edinburgh lastnight, at the opening og the new Royal Bank Building down the road from me..

Gutted i missed it. :(

Are these free entry? I think I read that somewhere.

EVO lists dates of events like these IIRC.

No wonder they've been so slow, what is that pod on the top?

Think it had there lunch in it :)

Yes, there free to get in :)

Thought so. Might have to venture up to the next one.

Well worth it :thumb:

For those who are interested.

Has the full run down. No More this year. I expect the next one to be February/March time next year.

Matt,
Thanks for the kind words:)

The best test to attend is the 3 day one held in June each year as nearly all teams are in attendance at this one as its an official Fia test as well.

They open more of the track at the June test as well. It's a fairly large hospitality jobby as well at that test.

Entry is free at all F1 tests at all times.

Good pics mate, I went earlier in the year, it was a brill day, here is one of my pics http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/...ing/alonso.jpg

No, it's a loud hailer advertising job vacancies :norty:
