Group C/GTP Le Mans cars from the Silverstone Classic
Discussion
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
Any C&C welcome
Regards
Tim

Great pics, Tim. Group C cars were my highlight too, especially as I didn't go to Le Mans this year so missed their support race there. Unfortunately I only went to Silverstone on Sunday so didn't see the Sauber Merc, which was a disappointment, but the rest of the field was pretty special.
A couple more photos, if I may?
Justin Law's Jaguar tricycles back to the pits after a tyre blew down Hangar Straight!
The gorgeous looking and sounding Aston Martin AMR1
Martin Stretton was mighty in Fredy Kumschick's Spice SE GTP
The Group C fans even had 20-year-old flags!

Nice pics guys, was it either of you that had a mobile photo shop going on the inside of Copse selling discs with photo`s taken during the weekend? Looking for a web address for him...........Martin
Martin,Yes I had a close look at this as I always thought that as a photographer working at the circuit you were unable to sell images onsite. This guy was from France I believe and would love to know if Silverstone were fully aware of what he was doing.
Are you after any images inparticular as I can possibly let you have some.
Otherwise his site was www.gbphotosports.com
