Here's a small selection of the photos i took. If you own a Ferrari you really should join up. It was just incredibly how well run the trackday was.



Pitlane. Note the gorgeous blue sky. As nic said, the sun always shines on the silverstone trackday

One of the 360Challenge cars. These babies sounded incredible. Straight through pipes. However, i'd probably have to admit to prefering the sound of the Stradales... even in standard form. Kevin, Joe etc... once again im envious

Insurance_Jon invited us over to see ITV filming for the Cannonball run. This was a Diablo SV that was there. Tasty!

The same Diablo and a Modena from the Cannonball8000
www.cannonball8000.com Have a great time guys and girls!

A 360Modena with NGT bodykit, exhaust and induction kit from GruppeM. Damn sexy with an exhaust note that is aural perfection!

Same car from behind. By the car is the guy who owns it, also owns the GruppeM 996GT3RSR race-team who John Cocker races for


Overall, a fab day. Really impressive aray of machinery, and the FOC members are all really top people.

Well it seems some people aren't satisfied... eh TonyH so here's some more... Enjoy!

First pic... F40... OH BABY BABY BABY! Such a sexy creature... damn i want one... mmmmmm... wowowowow... So yeh... F40... not a bad car really...


Now this part was a highlight. We got told early on the day that Jackie Stewart was taking some journos round in an AudiTT and that he would be popping in to give a quick talk over lunch.
The diner was PACKED. He talked for maybe 10mins all about Ferraris and his experiences with them. Top guy and a great moment!

This badboy belongs to Charlie. Top bloke and a real pleasure to meet and ride round Silverstone in. We went off for a quick hoon to get some petrol. The 355 spider is a lovely car to cruise around in. Pulled into the local BP and everyone just admired it. Being LHD i was in the right hand seat so got lots of admiring smiles... Top car

An arty boot pic...

Charlie's 355 on track...

Shot down the pit wall into the first corner. Where the Stradale is there is just after where most of the cars were downshifting... the blips made the most amazing sound. Pure automotive pornography!

Great day... want MORE pics?

Here's some more

First in this set is one of the Stradales. These things SOUND FANNNNNNNNNTASTIC!

No cameras on track... but when we came out of the pits i sneaked a pic of the F40 we had been driving with on track. Yummy

One of the Damax 360 Challenge Cars. Damn fast!

Pair of Italian Stallions... not a bad plate on the Spider

A Tuscan and Diablo SV from the Cannonball Photoshoot Nicola and I went over to see. On the far side of Silverstone from the GP pits, but a quick drive around allowed us to check them out. Jackie Stewart was driving a Noble around the circuit and wasn't bad...

A TVR Tuscan from the Cannonball


The highlight of the day for me was being in the 355 spider as the F40 overtook... mutual WOWOWOW from Charlie and me. Then a 288GTO overtook... mutual WOWOWOWOWOW from both of us... then a Stradale overtook "F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!"

Aural Delights all day

Rico,

Did you happen across a Rossa/Nero 575M being driven by a slim 5'9" bloke with black hair by any chance?
