Hi there,

The Group C/GTP races were for me the highlight of the Silverstone Classic event. I take the opportunity whenever I can to get to see these fantastic cars out on track.

Personally for me its the Silk Cut Jaguars that do it for me although it was nice to see the Sauber Mercedes C9 running (shame it crashed during the first race).

Hope you enjoy the pics

Lets start with a pan of the Jaguar XJR9



"From A" sponsored Nissan R90-CK



Sauber Mercedes C9 pursued by the Nissan



Another Jaguar, this time the "Bud Light" XJR12



Mazda 757 - sounds great for such a small car



The two "From A" cars together - Porsche 962 & Nissan R90-CK



Another pan, this time a Porsche 962



Lastly the 1988 Le Mans winning Jaguar did a few parade laps, notice the Jaguar C Type in the back ground. Thought I was in heaven love



Any C&C welcome

Regards

Tim

some quality shots there! certainly put mine to shame.

was an amazing day out, motorsport i've been to full stop!

here's a couple basic ones of the Silk Cut Jags, awesome looking machines:







Can only assume this next one was a replica as it was registered for the road!
