Nice garage, I had a funny feeling there might be some rather decent cars in attendance.

I'll try and go through my 3 hours of GoPro footage this week and edit it down a bit. Typically I hadn't noticed that my card was full when I was on track with the LaF that annihilated me on the straights but I gained on under braking.

Interestingly I use one gear higher than you at all times and was even using 5th down hangar straight at 130+mph

I'm currently trying to source a pair of Pzero Corsa rear tyres...

Edit: Has anyone had their link to the photos yet?

Just bought my folder of photos, I clearly wasn't on track at the right times as there don't seem to be that many images of my car.

I've not even checked pads but assume they're ok...

Rear tyres are coming out at £225 each plus fitting

Most of mine are repeats too and a couple are out of focus.

This is about the best..

Apparently I need to credit the photographer too...so www.picman.co.uk

I will check my pads when I next take the car out. I purposely didn't use "Race Mode" as this apparently is very grabby on the rear brakes.

I too was at Silverstone, I only really took pics of a few cars.. hehe

Does anybody know if the GT40 was a rep or original?
Let me guess, the LaFerrari, the GT3Rs' and the BAC Monos?

The GT40 was legit http://jalopnik.com/this-ford-gt40-is-an-active-ra...

I slowed down at one point to let it past so I could get the noise of the GT40 at full chat on my GoPro. Hopefully I'll get chance to edit down the 3.5 hours of footage tomorrow.
