    Britcar 2005 pre-season test at Silverstone

    Went off to sunny Silverstone (i.e cold, windy and cloudy!) this morning with Tom who gives me advice on my car as well as the serious engine/gearbox/suspension stuff. He wasn't testing his DC5 today but he'd brought along 2 customer cars, a Civic and a DC5. Both Toms and those tested today are entering into the Britcar 2005 season. It was quite an awesome morning

    I'll let the pics do the talking...

    It's endurance racing so there are 2 drivers per car, hence 2 names. And the BMW is over taking in that shot. It was only a test session so no 'racing' was done, although 3 a breast into turn 1 was quite interesting

    thats odd becuase it looks like they are both stationary, about to drag it up the strip. Looks like a class day was had by all
