Some of my photos - most of them are blurry or bad quality, or something / someone got in the way lol, but they're ok.
(Hope it's ok to post them in this thread rather than in the Photos section of the board).

Most of them seem to be the same couple of photos...

Yeah - I think Firefox or Photobucket is playing up for me. I'm trying to sort it out, but my internet is also playing me up so it's taking me a while lol.

LOL What I have seen so far though has been awesome. Silverstone has so many great vantage points.
Glad you enjoyed your weekend and thanks for these pics!

Ok, the photos should be sorted out now. God help my pooter if they're still ****ed up .

Awesome, glad it's sorted. I like em, especially Spongebob

I have to applaud Lewis on his doughnuts at the end of the race. Even though I am not a Lewis fan I was glad to see he was giving something to the fans despite not having a great race himself.

Especially good as it was where I was sat

Emma how did you manage to get a pick of the drivers wagon, it goes so fast.

[EwanM]

Well I did write a big report about the GP, only to have it scrubbed when Firefox crashed. So instead I'll just share the pics and vids with you. (I got alot more, just need to upload)

Here's random crappy videos traveling to Silverstone:

Can I just say though, thanks to 7up and Racechick for putting up with me. It was great to meet them and hang out with them. I hope I made a decent impression, and we can meet next time.
As for the rest of you Brit users, try come next year so we can have a proper get together, that would be ace.

I'll tell the stories of the people I met if people ask.

So I'll just name my personal highlights. (ignore the date on the camera, I didn't set it).

Meeting and getting Sir Jackie Stewart's autograph: (I posed for a pic with him only for my friend to later say he couldn't get the Camera to Work grrr!)




Meeting and talking to Marc Gene (great guy) (that isn't me in the pic it's a later pic. I met him at the Copse Ezone randomly)



Meeting and talking to Martin Brundle:

It was a pleasure, I look forward to next year's race wherever it will be.

If EJ is still part of the BBC crew shall we carry out our plan of making a giant "EJ REALLY loves KERS" banner?

[EwanM]

Might I also add to that list, Alex Wurz (while he was heading for the portaloo), Louise Goodman (who was waiting for) Ant Davidson (who went so fast I couldn't get a pic, but I did manage to get Gareth's super aguri hat signed). Hopefully he uploads a pic of it soon!

[Rivelution]

Cool pics ewman!! Did Gene say anything about Le Mans?

[EwanM]

OH! and absolute random. At the m6 toll petrol station. Filling up next to me was Mark Hughes from Autosport!

I was caught off guard, I should have spoken to him! The man is a legend, in my eyes!

[EwanM]

Cool pics ewman!! Did Gene say anything about Le Mans?

That was what I spoke to him about. I firstly congradulated him on winning Le Mans and asked how tough it was. Marc was ever so kind to stop and talk as I could see he was leaving as I approached. He said that it had been a long and tough race, that he was really racing hard with the other Peugoet and that he was really tired afterwards. I then spoke of how it had been a great 24 hours and that it was really special to see Brabham, Wurz and himself taking victory. I then wished him all the best in his future racing career.

lol He sure loves his KERS. Next year I want to be in the audience for his new Chat Show

I wonder if the FIA and FOTA are still sending those flaming bags to each other?

[EwanM]

Another point. I must say how utterly amazing the support races were this weekend. Particularly the close racing from the Formula BMW's AND the dramatic Porsche Supercup race which saw a last lap pass for the lead down where I was sitting. Amazing!

Dang thats a solid conversation. I dont think I've ever exchanged more than 3 words with any driver.

[EwanM]

Yeah, it was surprising that nobody else really noticed him. Shows not many people watched Le Mans and attended the GP

[headless]

I never met anyone, the only famous person I have ever spoken to was Jason Robinson. On 3 occasions!
Could call him a friend!

[racechick]
