Formula 1 Testing Silverstone 2006 (revised)

[Samiad]

F1 will probably visit again later in the Summer before September, but it's not on the calender yet.

Oh, I really want to go to something like this with all my camera kit. I have never been to a F1 or the like.

Cheers for bringing this back to life for us, I have a few F1 shots I wish to try at Silverstone so will more than likely be there at some point.

I'm planning a trip over, will have to be away by 3pm latest, anyone remember what times they run between, ie start time ?

 

[xolotl]

Damn, last time I turn up at the begging of lunch break. So this time I did as well!

There wasn't a huge amount of running either. Also Midland have a new paint job to go with Spyker buying them.

I went today with my girlfriend, good day...hopefully the photos were better than last time but I will need to go through them.

Marshalls were around and it was literally Luffield and the end of the Main straight only today, sadly not able to break onto other parts of the course this time!

You made your long-suffering girlfriend go through that again?

To follow up I just thought I'd post a few pictures of the new Midland livery:

150mm, 1/125 @ F/14

200mm, 1/500 @ F/7.1

200mm, 1/500 @ F/7.1

Comments welcome, think the new design is quite striking and its good the car is now different looking to the Mclaren at least!

nice shots (as always) Tom

the car looks a lot better not and will be easier to spot out on the track

no 3 for the win
