Rockingham pics: 56k warning!

Great day, not many people there really, all the rain managed to miss us! Very cold wind all day tho.

Here's a few pics to get you in the mood:

A lovely CSL on the parade:

The Kumho was the best racing, here they are lining up in the pits:

and starting (sadly e30 m3 (white/green) went backwards as brakes wore, it was good seeing it running with an e46 M3!!):

Here's the eventual winner (of both races) taking 2nd in the second race; the silver car went straight on and lost half it's bumper; the other half was sticking straight up for the rest of the race!!:

A sneaky peak at what makes a winner:

Someone in the Miltech (sp?) races was running a touring - it wasn't the fastest, but certainly the most sideways every time :)

And for the deep dish fans, this lovely 850 in the Kumho:

Would love to have seen this versus the M3s on the oval inside of the infield track.....

Onto the F1 car:

Amazing noise, 1:20 laps in Andy Priaulx' hands:)

Then Fifth gear turned up to do a F1 v. M5 piece, Tiff in the F1 and VBH in the M5. She was really caning the M5, smashing 30 foot long double tyre lines through the chicaine (and overshot once ;) )  The idea was Tiff would do 3 laps while VBH did 2 and see who won. VBH was doing 2 minute laps and Tiff down to 1:26 so he was never going to fit 3 in. But they did film one run where VBH slowed down and waited for him so they could cross the line together, so have to wait and see how it comes on the telly. Also, Tiff seems really nice, relaxed, guy and very interested in the cars in the isrt of way you might think he'd be past, and happy to mix with everyone. Didn't see VBH out and about tho :(

Some great pictures there and it's good to hear that the Kumho's were such good races!!  I was in car 46...the E30 325 with the union jack on the roof.  Don't s'pose you got any pics did you? I managed two class wins so I'm as happy as larry today!
