Silverstone trackday

[Ferry Man]

Hi from sunny Silverstone.
Let's see if we can Tapatalk some photos from the circuit for you....

The new pit-lane complex is fantastic. The track's a bit too long and fast for a 40 year old Porsche but great fun anyway.

It's actually a BMW trackday but there's about 8 or 10 Porsches here.

Nice pics.

You have done well with the weather, I was there yesterday on a bike trackday and it was the windiest day I have ever ridden on. We were getting blown 5ft over coming out of copse and it was difficult getting the bike over in to club as the wind was keeping it up!

Is uncle Vic there ... he mentioned he was at Silverstone this week.

You should have said....I'd have popped down

It's getting even sunnier!
The clouds have cleared and the track is warming. Only one red flag so far and no harm done.
It's open pit-lane and there's no queue, pretty quiet out on the circuit too (because it's vast).

*shudder*

this is how i'd like to do up my little track monster, but a bit afraid i'd look like a complete tit given im a crap driver



i really wanted to go to this track day but couldn't get the time off work, but looks really good! very jealous

quick question; are you taking those pics with an iphone or similar and uploading them? and if so, what are you using to get those effects? the pictures look amazing!!

At the drivers briefing we were told "be careful out there, some parts of the circuit are slippy. We had a bike day yesterday and there may be some blood on the track".

Quick Vic? Oh yes....

Ben, yes, all photos were on my iPhone.
I posted using Tapatalk but don't use their 'hosted by Tapatalk' for the images (because I feel they're too small in size and too low-res).
I have the Photobucket app so I upload pics from my phone direct to there.

Some shots are straight from the phone, some with effects or borders added using the Photoshop app.
But most of them (and the better ones) are shot using 'Hipstamatic'. It's a superb app for the iPhone.
Get yourself a selection of lenses and film effects and set the camera to randomise with a shake.
And off you go.

I will add that I get the best shots by being there. Good images don't seem to happen when I'm stuck at work or lounging about at home.
My best tip. Be there.

Obviously there was some nice BMW's there too. Sadly most were modern, like brand new. But there was a few older ones on show.
Like this...



I didn't see any BMW's from the seventies on the circuit though, so I think I won the oldest car on track award.

There was a Ferrari too but the last time I saw him was when I rounded a corner to discover him facing me (having just stopped spinning) with his real wheel ripped off.
The lack of supporting wheel may have been what caused the rear of the car to hit the deck and thence the rear bumper to come adrift....
