Trackday photos - Silverstone UK
First trackday this year at Silverstone on the full GP circuit as used by F1. 3.3 miles and 17 turns

I didn't expect to do so well against Ben Bostrom either

Agreed....what I'd give to ride on a track of that calibur....must be awesome.

As far as passing Bostrum, those guys are highly overrated...here's me taking Rossi on the inside

i was there too!!!

it was a NO LIMITS trackday

shame about the micky mouse chicane though. but good that they only ran 2 groups (due to lack of people cos it was raining) ment we got loads of track time
also the track was very slippy/wet in the morning but started to dry after lunch,loadsa people crashed about 10-15ish

will add action shots when i can get the pro taken photos that i brought scanned in at work cos i dont have a scanner at home

Re: Trackday photos - Silverstone UK
Different day Jonnyboy. I was there on 26th with Hottrax. Great weather all day for us

The track was good, but it is so open and wide it can feel like a motorway in places! The guy that designed the chicane was smoking crack though

My favourite is still Donington.

Donington is awesome. The Redgate-Craner Curves-Old Hairpin section is just stunning.

Make sure you get behind an instructor in you early sessions to get shown the right line, because some of the corners are not that obvious.

Agreed, nice pictures. Was that a hired photographer? Whoever it was got some outstanding shots! Is that a vent tube dragging in the middle picture (just ahead of the rear tire)?

Re: Trackday photos - Silverstone UK
The photographers were hired by the trackday organisers and were taking shots all day. Definitely the best photographers I've seen at a trackday. You could go to their truck and view all the photos they had of you, and choose which ones you wanted. Burned them onto a CD there and then

I think that is one of the breather/vent tubes
