Festival of Speed photos

[Sf_Manta]

I made it home about 30 mins ago.

Got there around late morning Thursday, and had 4 glorious days.
Ok it meant early starts each day (being stuck over in Andover) but great time being had.

I've got a ton of videos and pictures taken, which I'll sort out tomorrow.

Went with my brother, we've got about 9000 photos between us, so I'll get an album up after editing.

We went Friday, fantastic day as ever.

I've only sorted a few photos so far..

One might ask a rephrased version of the question..."Why did they bother making it at all?" Does the world really need yet another limited edition McLaren? Your brother has much more patience than I; couldn't get near the thing even on the Thursday because it was mobbed, and when you finally did, you felt very "oh, I thought it was something great judging by the crowds" disappointed. A very awkward and unbalanced, disjointed looking thing.

I know they really won't care what I think but McLaren are losing the plot. The irony of a Lego car on their stand is surely not lost when the Senna they had in the supercar paddock looks very much like it, too, was built out of children's toys

My mistake. It's much more Fisher Price than Lego

The Senna looks a mess, but then so did most of the other supercars in that paddock, they all look like they were designed by someone from Halfords that used to own a Max Powered Nova.

Didn't have any trouble getting near it though, even on a Saturday, but we were there at 7am - and we had long lenses on for getting the track and off road stuff so we were stood well back to get them.

Given that I took a lot of photos of The Beast, it seemed implausible not to put them to some use. So I made my first ever GIF
