Write Up Silverstone Classic 2014 Zedfest

[Aceman]

Very very hot day almost unbearable at time must have been 30+ degrees today. Despite that yet another cracking day with plenty of zeds Turning up and the z3's by far the most single model there. Didn't stop for the parade lap as it was going to be gone 7 before they were allowing you on track and today's heat had took its toll so retreated to the hotel for some recovery time.

More pics here showing what you missed.

Excellent day I bet.

Lovely day started off by Ian leading us into Silverstone. Thanks Ian, very good pace.
No traffic, straight in there, superb parking area.
As Ian said, VERY hot day but very enjoyable.
Here are a few of our pictures.

Just home after a thoroughly enjoyable few days, It was great to put names to faces although I am terrible with names and have probably forgotten most by now .

When going in to Silverstone a single Ferrari passed us and did look stunning, my Son Luke (a big Ferrari fan) was in awe of it so can you image what he was like when we got to walk through the Ferrari section! His cheek bones hurt from all the smiling

Thanks to everyone who came along to say hello, it is great to be welcomed by such a friendly bunch.

Sometimes it pays to have a different coloured car, they are easy to spot from afar.

A favourite of mine. (As a wee boy I had a scalextric car just like this)

A couple more pics.

A few of the assembled crew.

Great pics everyone. Glad you all had a fantastic weekend, looks like you had a lot more room this year, shame about the lack of the air conditioned BMW hospitality lounge though, it was a godsend in the heat last year.

Haha you got the same legs as me Miller I lashed myself with sun cream all over except my legs doh!

 

[hard top]

Proof that Miller had not got his wellies on........

 

[Mint]

Good pics all, thanks for posting. I Don't think you're the only one sun burnt Miller...

Necks still red raw... How old am I and still don't think!

Nice to meet a few of you. Didn't get to meet all that were there though. When you see a field full of Zeds it's difficult to recognise cars, but those I met were super people.

I came away promising to do it all again next year.

I haven't always been a big fan of BMW CC GB, but that was well put together and thoroughly well organised. I tip my hat to them.

Proof that Miller had not got his wellies on........

At least on one foot!! Probably has the other one on!! JIM

Many of the Z3 owners may have left before the afternoon session for pre-'66 F1 cars. Just read that Denis Welch who was involved intje accident duriny tue Fi st couple of laps died if his injuries in the medical centre. A sad end to an otherwise enjoyable event.

 

[Aceman]

OMG very sad indeed RIP

We were sitting in the village grandstand which overlooks the corners where the accident happened. We knew it looked bad but still shocked that it was so bad.
