Bonjour ! Amuse bouche ... (SONY A7ii - ZEISS Sonnar ZM 1,5/50 f 1,5 ; crop) :
(The Sonnar on the SONY A7ii is fun to use. Live view helps compensate focus shift, there is IS, focus area enlargment and the VOIGTLÄNDER VM-E Close focus adapter
reduces the Sonnar's minimal focussing distance of 90cm to 45cm.)

On the test day (the Friday), just walked in!! As long as you weren't in the Pit Lane when cars were testing, no questions were asked!!!

I always get told off at Donington and Silverstone if I stray out of the garage into the pit lane

Thats the power of holding a Leica
Are you going on a test day though (which are free at MSV circuits) or at a paid event??
The Brands Hatch Masters was Sat/Sun, but I noticed that the previous day was an MSV Test Day (opene to anyone with a race licence), but the clincher was there there 3 types of session that you could book, Closed Wheel, Open Wheel and F1. The fact that F1 had its own slots suggested that most of the Masters F1 cars would be out on the Friday.

I also made a visit to the Leica store to get an M11-P in my hands for the first time and I was very surprised by the weight of it compared to my Q2! I wasn't expecting how heavy it was with the 50mm Summilux lens fitted. Now on the slippery slope of GAS. Fortuneately it'll be some time yet as my easiest option will be to sell a kidney but now I have got the idea in my head it won't go away.
