Default FIA GT Silverstone (inc World Touring Cars)

Presume that the usual gang will be up for this, but any more for any more?


1st chance to see the Aston DBR9 GT LM cars before Le Mans 24hr.
Chance to see some crazy BMW and Alfa Touring Cars too.

We've put it in our diaries so this is (currently) an official bring the missus event

I really want to go - been to Donington the last few years for the FIA GTs. However, I'm working that weekend so I've got to try and find cover.

Well if you can make it, just let me know. We met up just next to the bridge (in the viewing area just down the hill from it) last time, so we'll probably be in the same place this time to start.

Spent yesterday with the Z3M Coupe boys at Donington for the British GT. Never been before and you can see a lot of the track from a single vantage point + being inside the circuit means less fences to get in the way of photos

Top pics Rob. How do you get the car in focus, with the background wizzing by - is it literally following the car with the camera and shooting, of course with certain shutter speeds etc i guess?

I'd love to take some nice motorsport photos like that
