Yes
Had a great day at Silverstone today, shooting press for the Brit Car 24 hour race which is impending.

My mandate was people, pits, ambience - pretty much what I do. Long but fab day with dinner, interviews and the most surreal ride around Silverstone in the boot of a Rover at 60mph with me taking shots of the grid as they passed. Tricky day to meter as very over cast and little sun which netted dull skies and cloud....

Good day out and did some networking and shot specifically for a couple of teams which may secure me more work. Met that Shane lad who was in Boyzone and discussed how bad celebrity love island is - not that I watch it. Last picture is me in the pit lane. (must get down the gym) Thanks for looking. (PS am aware of odd dust issue on these. Have cleaned up full size pics. Amazed at amount of debris on the track which flicks up onto the lens each time I rode the circuit)

Great shots Diego. (y)
Was there last year, as guests of Mazda, being an RX-8 owner and all.
The cars were originally silver, but were painted in the Le Mans colours part way thru last season.
