NatSKA

 

Silverstone 18th september 2010

We had a great day out at Silverstone race track to see the 2010 Renault World Series.

Formula Renault 3.5, Formula renault 2.0, Megane Trophy V6, F4 Eurocup 1.6 , Clio Cup, F1 Team Exhibition and the Pit Walk

I have never been to a race meeting before other than Natska Karting, but the excitement of the whole thing was well worth it.

 

It's hard to follow all of what's happening and you miss most of it, but to hear it , see it, smell it and feel it is something you can't experience on the TV , quite amazing. (especially the cold backside and pins and needles from sitting down, the cold wind and the sunburn, but at least the chips were tasty )

 

The deafening scream of the F1 car as it shot past at an incredible speed, the anticipation as the cars missed the apex, ran wide and struggled on the grass and gravel runoff close to the tyre wall, as for the rest of the track.....I couldn't see that bit but I enjoyed it all the same

 

 

As with all race days you have the battles, winners and losers and the inevitable mishaps.

The rule book can be very hard at times as in all motorsport.

The Formula 3.5 winner Esteban Guerrieri had his win disqualified all for a bit of tape on the front of his car.( technical infringement they called it ) Gutted
