Deaf but very happy!

Been up to Silverstone the past couple of days with my friend Pete from work to see the British Grand Prix qualifying yesterday, and the race today.

It really was one hell of an experience - but then for GBP 260.00 you'd be disappointed if it wasn't. The weather was great for both days, and we had a great vantage point just at the start of the pit straight to see the race from, although on the Saturday you can sit wherever you want, so we took the opportunity to roam a bit and try out different stands around the track - think we agreed that the best position was on the main pit straight - but at almost GBP 400.00 a ticket it's probably more than I'd be willing to pay.

Can't believe i finally got around to seeing a Grand Prix - so many years now I've been religiously watching every race on TV and it's a bit surreal seeing the cars in the flesh - but what you don't get on TV is the immense noise they make - it is absolutely deafening.

Unfortunately I don't really have the right camera for high speed action, but here are a few snaps.
