Autosport 6 Hours of Silverstone hits Dunsfold
4
Well we've got into the final stages of the pre-race activity before the Autosport 5 Hours of Silverstone on September 9-10-11 with an appearance at the Dunsfold Wings & Wheels event in Surrey.
We had the Aston Martin DBR1-2 LMP1 car #009, which retired from active duty after last year's Le Mans 24 Hours. Her sister car #007 is being brought back to the front line at Silverstone after some less-than-successful outings for the new open-top car. Joining the big Aston was a Porsche 997 GT3 RSR to illustrate the diversity in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and Le Mans Series - although this particular car was 'borrowed' from British GT outfit Trackspeed.
Our grid girls also got their first run-out. There will be one or two substitutions before their next outing at Chelsea AutoLegends this weekend. I feel like Fabio Capello!
Big crowds and massive interest - some of it in the cars! Here are the official pics, I'll put up some of the fantastic aircraft and cars later in the week.
