MINI Challenge Silverstone GP
13^th – 14^th June

I am beginning to love Silverstone, both as a spectator and as a photographer. It takes a few trips to get to know the vantage points, that is those not too far away from the circuit and close enough to see the racing as well as take pictures. The only issue I have is that the circuit is enormous. Six laps in qualifying and 8 or 9 laps in each race! The GP circuit is 3.66 miles long. So when the race starts you have about 2 minutes of twiddling your thumbs or time to move around without missing racing.
