Friday at Silverstone

Good morning!

Early morning here at Silverstone race track - a chilly 8 degrees when I arrive here. Now the sun is slowly warming the air and it starts to feel like one can stay outside without getting chilled to the bone.

Off to prepare for the two sessions of qualifying for the FPA series.
And a race in the afternoon - it's bit of a long day as it goes something like this... (to the beat :-) )

Wake up : 6am
In the car : 6.30am
Arrive at Silverstone (no congestion at M6/M1) : 7.40am
Ready at Paddocks : 8am
Few early morning shots : 'til 8.45am
FPA 1st Q : 10.15am
FPA 2nd Q : 2.25pm (Qualifying sessions are about 20mins each)
FPA race 4.55pm (nasty time for the direction of the sun)

So, there is a lot of empty time in between the sessions. Lets just hope the Media Centre is open today and I get decent speed Internet over there!

The Formula Palmer Audi (FPA) race finished around 5.30pm - after which I hopefully get to photograph Emma standing on the podium!!

After the car racing - I'll dash off to Milton Keynes to photograph a BBL Basketball match, and hopefully arrive back home by 10pm.
It is a tough life when your back is bothering you and you can't perform your full-time job *sigh*
