HIGH DEF VIDEO - LoT Silverstone GP

My first Silverstone visit in the Exige, second time on the circuit in all.

I chose Silverstone as I am learning to carry more corner speed and the good amount of run off in most corners allows for mistakes more than most circuits.

I was also focussing on improving my heel/toe work.

I had a great day. The LoT days are always well behaved and have a friendly atmosphere in the paddock/garages.

Some tuition with Malcolm Edeson was most beneficial. I’d rate Malcolm as one of the best communicators from the several instructors I have tried.

Anyway on with the video. 3 laps in High Definition with the disappointment of losing the end of the last lap when the battery died on the camcorder.

Nice vid…

Saw you there…
I was a spectator on the pit wall…
Kept a low profile as I was’nt sure I was supposed to be there!
Drove in without being asked for any money etc…
Only official was the marshall in the pit lane as I could see.
Are trackdays open to the public then or did I just slip thro ?

Most trackdays you can just join the paddock, its only some circuits that maintain a gate.

Some more video of the day…

Are trackdays open to the public

Yep
