Storm Force At The Silverstone Classic - Speedhunters (blog)
Rain beyond measure, saturating the track and soaking my gear. Noise beyond belief, standing open mouthed in the pit-lane as 20,000 horses struggled on the leash in front of me, the 50-plus big-banger sportscars of the Masters Historic waiting to flood out onto the sun-drenched track. Flares in the gloaming sky as aerobatic planes danced around above the roaring Group C cars that raged below. Such a range of extremes at the 2015 Silverstone Classic. However, the Silverstone Classic was a different beast. It all went to easing the aching muscles from trudging round Silverstone’s never-ending perimeter. Within seconds the boot of my car was already soaking as I struggled to waterproof my kit. I actually enjoy proper, heavy rain – although my gear never thanks me for it. I’d been thinking of concentrating on certain aspects of the Classic. After all, I’ve already given you a flavour of Group C, Formula 1 and classic sportscars at previous events such as the Spirit Of Montjuic Festival. In particular, there would be the ’90s GT Legends and a healthy dose of Super Touring cars – but then I arrived and that plan went out of the window. Source: www.speedhunters.com
