Yep it's the British GT, I can't wait. I will be taking plenty of pictures for sure. Thanks for the advice on ear protection, it sounds like it won't be needed but I will take some small foam ones just in case.
You won't use them, you won't want to diminish the wonderful sounds! Especially the AMG's! It's really not too loud unless you have very sensitive ears.
I've started watching motor racing live recently, British GT, GT Cup, Fun cup. All at Donington so far but hoping to go to Oulton park in July to watch the GT Cup. Also going watching the British GT season finale at Donington again.
It's really great seeing these cars in the flesh! You will love it! Don't know what it's like at Silverstone but at Donington you can wander round the whole track, inside and out, and see the action from every bit of the track.
I always find myself rooting for ABBA and RAM. Each car has it's own distinct style, you can tell that they are different beasts, the muscle of the AMG, the Lambo like a jet fighter, the nimble porsches. The best all-round performer seems to be the McLaren, but they don't really stand out to me, a bit less "personality" than some of the others. All awesome cars to watch though!
My wife comes with me, initially just beacuse I fancied it, but she enjoyed it a lot more than she thought she would. Anyone with even just a passing interest in cars will enjoy it.
Hope you like it, you'll have to come and report after you've been.
